couldn't be for a rack could it? seems unlikely without cable guides on the frame.

Exhaust pipe mount?

cheers

got them off no probs

will clean it u now and see what state it is in - wheel / hub that is

Please let me know when you want to get rid of the 28H rear hub.
Can you arrange some detailed pics?

Very nice build with the Fleet

seeing as it is a Mercian why not just email them a picture, and ask them, i am sure they will have a definative answer.

Cheers guys, any idea of where can I find out more about this so called Fleet??? there is a serial number: F117894

Oh I dunno, Mercian lost all their records from sometime in the 70s.

Looks good. 4 of my friends have this frame, and each one I've seen so far has been built up completely differently. All nice bikes.

Is it wrong to really want one of these?

Very

I thought so.

I just reckon it would look great on my '58 Holdsworth....

I am almost sure Fleet are from Australia. I might be wrong, and mistaken the name
but I could swear I've seen one before..
Will have a look.

Here we go!! This is my new bike, a very rare lo-pro frame.. has anyone heard of this Fleet?? I have been trying to find out where it was made, or by who, but I haven't found anything yet. It's made of Reynolds 731 and it really is a nice ride...

FFS.... did you even look!?
My 1st attempt in Google - www.fleetcycles.com.au
: D

But that seems to be a bicycle store... it doesn't say anything about their own bikes.. does it?

I saw it before in fact...

A bike store since 1934.... just like some other shop (still in business), used to have their own
amateur-team, custom bikes. It is the same, I kid you not.

*email them?

that's a good point.. will drop them an email!
