Well, for the sake of clarity, I should point out that I bought this bike from a well known person in the V-CC, and and officer in the Yorkshire club, Bygone Bikes. The chap is a well-respected cycling historian, and collector of fine machines. The other Club members and officers at the sale all knew the bike. There is indeed a braze-on, but the historians seem satisfied that this was a generic boss, and does not signify a roadster.
The bike is currently on show in Cyclemagic's premises, under the eye of eminent cycling historian Roger Lovell, who likes the bike very much.
At this year's V-CC week at Ampleforth, lots of memebers were very appreciative of the bike, and it was admired. They reckoned it to be worth about a grand on fleabay.
Hope that eases any doubts.
