For Sale - R H Wakefield of Tooting Lightweight Frame - Nervex Lugs

I am offering up this lovely and quite rare Wakefield frame in pristine condition having recently acquired another. If you need anymore pictures please pm me with an email address, I can only upload one on here at a time.

This particular example was refurbished by A W Cycles of Colliers Wood some years ago and is a very nice example of the type of lightweight frame produced by these smaller makers. The size is 22" c to top and the top tube is is the same, c to c. The rear dropout width is 118/120mm and there are Campagnolo braze ons for two shifters on the down tube. It was probably built around the late 1950's or early 60's.

There is some information about Wakefields on line and a good write up on the Classic Lightweights Site. Briefly Bob Wakefield ran the business and shop side of things whilst his highly regarded and skilled partner, Stuart Purves built the frames.

I'm hoping that someone in or around London will be interested in this, I'm not keen on boxing it up and posting. Collection can be arranged from RG6 - last stop before Reading at Earley by South Western Trains or I will meet up under the clock at Waterloo for the price of my train ticket and a cuppa.

Offered for £125, a good price for a piece of London's cycle history.

Thanks
Shaun
