This has a bit of a story…I bought this as a project but doubt I will have the time...and it is too big for me.
The seller had it built through Graham Buck Cycles in Ipswich…GB didn’t build frames but got others to build his frames including Bill Hurlow…However GB told the chap I bought it from that it was built in Romford in Essex (ruling out BH whose workshop was in Kent)…The seat cluster indicates it was made by a top frame builder and the only one who fits the bill is…Vic Edwards…they don’t come much better.
I have some genuine Graham Buck decals...H Lloyd doesn't have them
Also note the heart cut outs on the lugs.
It is built from 531SL with vertical dropouts and an internal brake cabling….runs with a single chainring (look up Alf Enger on Google).
Frame measurements:
ST (C2T): 57cm
ST (C2C): 55.5cm
TT (C2C): 55cm.
126mm rear spacing…so can do 6-7 speed
No dings or dents include Shimano 600 headset.
Needs a respray and possible a brazed on DT shifter boss…but a single band on DT shifter is an alternative..a pip under the down tube will prevent slipping.
£90 ono either collection from Biggleswade in Bedfordshire or delivered to Kings Cross Station.
