ca-rezy frame!

It is a nice one but too big for me!

slt, les roues sont deux arriere ou c 1 set?

trés bonne

puppies, yay.

That fork defintely not the original, right?

nice but too small. and wrong colour.

without meaning to sound like toooooo much of a cunt, are you having a fucking laugh?

Pista Pro my left testicle. Its an old butchers/utility type bike pre 60s, probably 40s. Probably originally took a 20" or 24" front wheel to enable a huge fuck off rack on the front. These frames regularly appear on ebay, with original fork other bits and don't sell for less that £80.

lol.

The brake cable guides wouldn't have been around that early. I've got a similar Raleigh frame from the 70s and it still has rods. Maybe they're an upgrade. Mine still has the rack on the front.

Still a good bike. Mine weigh's a ton but it's made of Dublin steel, it's solid as a rock. And removable seat stays were a very convenient idea.

P.S. The shitty fork on it is probably bent.

I'll give you £40

Just steal it

Not quite, it's likely to be a path racer from the turn of the century, they too have sloped top tube sometime.

Just steal it

im on parole

Didnt see the guides. In that case I agree Psy Later date forsure, should of noticed that and alsoguessed from the curved TT. Defo a utility type frame. Ed, it's really not a path frame. Removeable stays are a feature of utility type bikes.

You're actually both right. This bicycle is from 1921 an was used in races between butchers which were very popular at the time. Sometimes bakers and shoemakers raced as well.

Did the Candlestick Makers get involved too?

it's a common feature on bicycle at the turn of the century mate, the path racer do have removable stays as well.

I think it's a path racer since it look strangely like one beside the cable routing, but that's just my theory, it's probably not in the end.

This bicycle was made before chain tools which were invented in 1933. Chains were purchased in a loop so to install them, the butchers had to remove the stays.

I knew I was making something up. Thanks Balki.
Ed: Notice how the chainstays on your path racers slope and they don't on this bike? That means the fork isn't original. Could be that the original path fork is gone, but I'd guess from how much the BB has been pushed up it had a much smaller front wheel.

BUT: If its got removable stays and cable guides and the wrong fork I guess I can't be as sure as I was when I first announced my point. So I'm not going to claim I'm right. But I'm reasonably sure its not what its advertised to be.

Harry, thank you for making my day!

"Pista Pro" haha!

nice double seattube ... i like this frame

It looks like a Raleigh Bomber frame, although the top tube is different.
