1960's path racer. £110

23/23 ctt/ctc

Has been stripped and lacquered by armourtex last week. Unfortunaltey this revealed a hidden dent in the top tube.

So, i am basically a bit upset and gonna try and recoup some of my cash money.

If it doesnt sell in a week, I will rekindle my passion for he frame and build it up as i was planning to before..

Located in nw3 2jr

Next to gospel oak overground.

Photos to follow..

Cheers,
Matt

I really like this frame! Why did it come out now :(

and why so big

Nice frame.
Are those Ekla lugs, they may make it earlier than 60's. http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/components/ekla-clarke-components.html

I've a similar frame, same seat stay finishing, different fork crown, dated from late 40's. Any serial numbers on it?

I wish i knew more about it... It came in a job lot of three bikes, including a 1960's holdsworth super mistral and claud butler.. So i just guessed it was the same era.

So, i know very little about it.. Any more info is gratefully received.

Do you have any pics of your bike on here?

Ill have a look for serial number in the morning, i think something did surface when the blue paint was removed.

wheres the. dent?

Middle of the Top tube.. LHS.

8mm long
3 mm deep

Roughly

Whats the dent from, crash or just being dropped against a lamp post? Can you post a pic?

Prov dibs pending dent photo

Found a spare fork!

And the spare fork will be added to the lot or what?:)

£10 extra?

Fair enough...

bump...
£5 for the extra forks? (if bought with the frame)

You could easily, and cheaply, get the ding filled by a decent framebuilder, especially now the frame is stripped down anyway.

So you didn't built it in the end?
