Hi everyone, i picked this up recently. Decals say Don Farrell and another Don Farrell sticker. Lugs are BCM and not sure about drop outs. The headset is a Rino which i think are cheaper Italian headset but the guy i bought it off said it had come with a random mix of parts so may not be original.
The only serial i can see is the number on the BB but that doesn't sound like a serial number. It looks like it has had a colision at some point as some damage to the underside of the seatpost lug although it has been repainted since then and paint job looks old so I'm guessing its ok. I'm getting it checked tomorrow.
I thought at first look that it was maybe 50s or 60s but I don't know if any English builders used BCM lugs then or if it was maybe repaired by Don Farrell and resprayed and they put the decals on. It's not a great paint job.
Anyway if anyone could help i'd appreciate it. It may go up for sale on here if I can find out what it is as was looking for an English build.
Cheers,
Ross
