The Chater double must be pretty rare just by itself, probably because they were heavy as well as being expensive. I've just weighed a single 52 CL ring and a same size TA:
Chater 11oz.*
TA 5oz.The Chater cranks are above average weight for steel, so the whole Chater set up would probably be a good pound heavier than say, TA/Stronglight.
The Nolan does seem a good proposition at somewhere near that price, but you'd need to be tall. The advertiser has neglected to mention the frame size, but I'd say it's at least a 24".
Tommy Nolan: interesting, they could be related, but neither name is unusual.
- No apology for non-metric weight; it would be inappropriate to measure Chater kit in anything other than pounds and ounces !

Another classic ebay description.
It has some lovely components on it, i especially like the chater lea double crank set up.
Ive never heard of the marque either but it definitely looks like a good project for somebody fairly local, as he will not post.
