tbh, I'm not sure-and I think the one on the 2nd pic may be bit broken-I'm pretty sure it's supposed to join up under the fork crown.

I'm guessing it was a lot to do with fashion-people liking the look of it more to the 'normal' flat fronted guards. I suppose the fork clip on ones may be a hangover from non drilled forks on rod brake frames?

Maybe someone else here can enlighten me more though. If I'm honest I just like the period look of them, really.

might be interested in the rack-I'll have a think then pm you later if I decide I am-assuming no one else dibs 1st that is.

Just too big for me, unfortunately. Beautiful frame though. Really like the curve on the lugs.

May be interested in one of the RO Harrison's if still available, dependent on size etc. Real shame you have to let all the bikes go.

nice to see your bike with all original decals etc and paint-really wish I had all that but sadly not! IS it a RRA or a raleigh Clubman? Can't quite make out from the photo below.

If you still have the chainring you mentioned I would appreciate a picture, yes, as I may well be interested. PM me a message with picture on here if you can??

Thanks, in advance,

Good Lord, another! Where do you get all these lovely lovely frames from from? GLWS

that is, frankly, lush. VGLWS

I think just a clamp like a modern frame would. You can see one on these old frames too:

Just saw this on ebay, if any of you are interested

yeah, he has some good stuff but is expensive- having said that I've bought quite a bit off him in the past, and sold to him too!

Not sure if you every got a head clip stem, but this on ebay looks perfect for you and is lovely...

So, anyone got a good recommendation for a London wheel builder to build up a set of vintage 1940's wheels for my RRA?- Constrictor Conloy crescent shaped rims on a Sturmey rear hub and Powell large flange front?

ideally some one with a good reputation for building with used and vintage parts?

cheers

stem

Rebuilt up the old Viking track recently as it never sold, and fitted it with a nice Major Taylor style adjustable stem, that looks to me to be homemade by someone in the past, or a t least, home-altered. Been using it as a daily work bike for a bit, and may re-fit it with mudguards for winter.

Just cycled past this in opposite direction. Bike under a lorry turning left onto Grays Inn Road. Lots of Police, fire engines, Ambulances and whole junction closed off. Think there was an Air Ambulance above as well. Rider was on the floor in front of the lorry being seen to by paramedics. Really hope they are ok.

1948 RRA ?. I doing one of those up at the moment as well. Original components are very hard to find and very pricey. I have a build thread on current projects at the moment. Would like to seem some photos. And of the Jack taylor curved tube Skülly.

I've just listed 27" conloy wheel on ebay, but it is a front 32 spoke on solite rim. The Conloy rims I have are 26 1 1/4". If you are still interested in either let me know asap and I can remove them if not bought.

Oh, that's ok then. Worried I'd just screwed up there. If I see a head clip stem anywhere I'll give you a heads up

Anidel, did you message me about my sales listing fir a hiduminium stem and constrictor conloy rims/wheel can only see have a post as I accidentally deleted some and hadn't noticed your reply.

Were you interested in something. All still available at moment. Was just going to put on ebay but if you want something you have first dibs.
