For Sale: Youngs F&F, 56 cm

  • Sold

    Four project on the go is madness, this is bottom of the list and has to go.
    ST 56, TT 57 centres to centres.
    Campag dropouts (one stuck adjuster)
    Frame no. 7486

    For once, there's history with this one. I got it off the original owner who claimed to have raced it in the 1950's (lugs don't look 50's to me) and showed me a photo of him racing at Finsbury Park. It was later repainted by Youngs but he couldn't remember when. My guess is 70's. I think they must have run out of 531 decals - it surely is and TT rings so.

    Nice patina, too good to repaint, IMO. The Youngs transfers have gone right wonky...maybe a fitting metaphor your life, hey? But they could be removed.. Lug lining looks to have been done by the tea boy, btw.

    What to ask? I'll say £90 and expect flack back, no less if that's way off.
    Collection only from East London, will not post.
