I have a rare old tourer.
Made by Tom Bromwich, a coventry based custom builder who used to work out of the back of his shed.
I had a talk to a coventry bike collector & historian type. He claims tom bromwich worked from about 1952-1967 and he was pretty adamant the bike was early 60's as he recognised the lugs.
But we then found 1972 frame stamps. Which, could possibly mean it was built after he retired out of leftover bits?
Anyway, the frame & forks are in excellent condition. A pearlescent turquoise. A good quailty sturdy rack & saddle bag came on the bike but I wanted to use them on my other bike!
The size is a large-medium I would say. Will measure up and try to take pics if you are interested. (I dont have a camera just now!)
It had some pretty standard parts on the bike, simplex 5 speed gears, an original flip-flop fixed/free rear wheel, front dynohub (sorry im having that!)
Basically whats for sale is the frame & forks, a nice milmerno corinthian stem and with it you get a whole bunch of parts free (as they are nothing to write home about) flip-flop rear wheel, simplex gears, original cotter crankset, pedals, seatpost, a bosch dynamo & large chrome lamp housing, weinmann brakes
--edit---
I only just read the post properly, that your after a fully setup bike for this weekend!
If anyone else is interested, let me know. Will be advertises soon.
