My father has begrudgingly gifted me his old bike, and now it is to be my project. I am wanting some history on the manufacturer really. I have tried my regular searching and have come up with blanks about the frames history.
This is what i know....
It was made from 531 tubing in the 1950's as a sprint bike. This was told to my father by Mr Scott outside his shop in about 1960. It was a gold or brown colour originally, with "light weight" wheels and handle bars.
My father has owned the bike ever since. I remember that when riding it as a teenager it had an unusually large frame. I dont have any pictures at the moment sorry.
Any help with finding the history of this bike would be great.
Cheers.
