  My dear Son just purchased an old bike. The BB is Davis Components 60 62 but wondered if they supplied a lot of bikes? Rumour has it that it might be a BSA but the seat stay tops do not look like BSA I have managed to look at which wrapped around? It has a Heuret 5 speed, Middlemore Leather Saddle. I have found a serial number on the nearside drop out A204886. looking carefully it has a 26 inch wheel on the front and a 27 inch on the rear. Front brake is a Weinmann (made in Switzerland) and the rear break is a Universal 61 apparently used in Tour De France by some riders in early 60's.
  Anyone any ideas?

  Thought I had better introduce myself. I do not ride a Fixie but have got dragged into this by my Dear Son who wants to build his own bike. Currently he rides Road, races with some modest points as a U16 and also CX (both need UCI compliant bikes). Once dragged in I can only watch for so long and then end up doing so if you see a portly elderly bloke flying through the air with arms akimbo, having forgotten you cannot just stop pedalling and rest, you may have located me.

  Gravel rolling under my wheels, that sliding feel as bike goes over, then the gravel rolling into my leg where my skin used to be.
