    Don't know anything about the above iron, but I had a frame built by 'nutty'
    in the 50s As far as I can remember it was metallic red with gold coach lines
    curly lugs 24" frame can't remember the frame angles,but it was pretty steep.I used 5"stem south of France bends campag 10speed 14-22 Block,
    51-49 chainring swallow saddle quick release hubs. Raced super Vitoria
    tubs trained on something more meaty.
    I went over to the BLRC and later ended my competitive days after a coming together with car ! I lost!

    I was a member of Walsall Roads C.C. In 1950's .I was not a time trial type more of a , as it was then called Massed Start. F.R. Russell know as Nutty
    Built me a frame to my spec. A jolly good frame it was too. He also built a
    Number of unicycles and bikes with eccentric wheels opposite steering,and
    all sorts of other weird combinations.
    I actually won a 10 ml club time trial, the only time trial I ever rode.
    I joined the then illegal B.L.R.C. Until motor cycles and girls took over.
