I recently acquired a very nice Keyhole Hetchins from the original owner.
Whilst it is a beautiful machine, I have to face the fact that it is too small for me.
Key dimensions are:
Seat Tube ctc 54.5cm
Top Tube ctc 55cm
I am looking to trade for either another Hetchins of similar quality or for a machine from a comparable classic British builder - Ephgrave, Bates, Jack Taylor that sort of stuff - none of yer foreign shite.
Ideally, I will be looking for something 57cm Square.
This bike is in pretty good condition. At some point in its life it has been resprayed (I believe at Bob Jacksons), and is in two shades of blue with gold lug lining.
Groupset is Campagnolo Record. There is a very small ding in the Top Tube, impossible to photograph but it is there. Otherwise it is pretty much unmarked.
Anyway, here are some pics:
Really interested to see what might be available - this would be my daily ride if it was a little bit bigger.
