So i'm just about to start a restoration project on this fillet brazed frame. Any clue what this could be? Hobbs of Barbican? I believe it has been re-badged.
Serial number W1172
I would dearly like advice on components for this build. Would it have taken 26 x 1 3/4 wheels? or 27? It has two sets of derailleur cable guides.....Osgear set-up i believe? http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/designs/osgear-hs.html .....and what colour should i enamel it?! ......I think I have quite a way to go on this project.
This project ended. Frame turned out to be badly rusted. Too expensive to repair.....frame was returned to seller.
Have the dropouts been cut down?!?
Can anyone recommend someone close to London who can do repair the dropouts that wont finish off the budget before the build has even started.
