I had planned to do a resto job on this for the summer but another of my bikes has been damaged so this needs to go. Wonderful early 1950's Viking 531 Mileater or Tour of Britain (i think - head badge puts it in that date bracket as does the Tour of Britain First sticker. The eyelets and pump holder put it in those two models but i think the front light holder makes it the Mileater) from Wolverhapton. Size 56cm. 120mm rear spacing, front looks like 95 (easily tweaked). Benelux drop outs. The headset and bb came with the frame and feel like they need regreasing.
£80 collected N7 or EC1
