1947 Hobbs of Barbican Clubweight Build and many other old builds

Any Updates or are you leaving it until spring to finish?

I have a Track Blue Riband Frame and Fork that I am collecting parts for as and when I see them at a good price. Ready for next spring????

Hello Steve,
I had hoped to have it well finished by now but a spell of moving house, lack of money and not having the right parts got in the way.
Good news though, I now have the money to finish her off.
There were some dramas with the tyres. Because they're a very obsolete size 26 1 x 1/4, they were almost impossible to find in Amberwall so I needed to order some from the good ol' US of A (a popular tyre size with old Schwinns I beleive). The US retailer only had one so needed to order another in. They should be on their way until they get caught up in customs and I have to pay some ridiculous charges.
Also ordered a new early 27mm 50's Titan stem and some rare Titan Maes bars. Also managed to order a Reynolds 27.2mm seatpost too. I needed to wait for Hilary Stone to return from l'Eroica before ordering then wait another 10 days before he dained to post them ;)
So, just white cotton bartape and shellac, a seatpost collar and rim tape left to go....
I've been informed that the package from Hilary has arrived today so will get some photos up tomorrow.
Have decided that I'm going to ride it to Norwich via Cambridge on the 15 Dec (anniversary of dads passing to the town where he was born).
Till tomorrow....
