For Sale: Hobbs of Barbican refurbished road frame set Black/white Gold lug lining. Very tasty.

Up for grabs as i wish i could keep it but slightly too big for me.

Hobbs of Barbican road frame/forks. These were renowned as the superior frame builders of there time making top quality clubmans frames and components.(they even made pedals,cranks and the most amazing bars)
It was refurbished a few years back with what seems to be period correct transfers and has been done to a high quality on the paint front with gold lug lining as a finishing touch.
It was built up and ridden so is not mint/showroom condition. There are a few chips here and there some touched up more visible on the head decal on the steerer.
Still a rare and attractive frameset. Check out the lug work which is very nice too.
The rear drop outs are very long making this perfect for a fixed project.

Seat tube ctc 57cm
Top tube ctc 57cm
Rear spacing 120mm
Will post frame number (left the info at work) tomorrow and year of production

Gone to a certain auction site.

that's gorgeous

That's a Hobbs Superb... top of the range mate.

I was given a 1949 Hobbs Raceweight with all the period stuff on it.. it's such a head turner but its still in its 1949 paint all faded and chipped, yours is wicked.

Lovely that.

That's really lovely. Would you consider making all tubes 3cm shorter? Sigh...

Lovely frame...Not sure about that Arsenal scarf though........

Stunning Mate, stunning.

Thanks. It should be 531. The lug work is amazing too.

Yes i do. Will be in touch.

Price dropped.

And again.

I can't believe nobody has bought this yet. Like a lot of people I often say 'I would have bought that if it wasn't my size' but I really would have bought this by now if it was!

And turned it into a single speed.

Lovely.
