Pre-restoration    

(‘petmarbro’, Grimsby, on eBay Nov 2017, Jan 2018 (£340))

Refinished in silver and burgundy enamel as it was originally , and all the original chrome has been replated. The transfers used were quite delicate waterslide originals, and while they are not perfect, they do enhance the frame.

The frame is built from Reynolds 531 tubing, so probably made in 1935 or slightly later, with nicely thinned lugs. Chainstays and seat stays are round section. The forks are oval to round with a twin plate crown. The head lugs, fork crown, and fork and rear ends have all been nicely replated. Tecalemet lubication nipples to bottom bracket and headset top race.

Braze-ons include: Mudguard eyes, lamp bracket boss on the right fork leg, and pump pegs for a 16″ pump on the downtube.

Fittings are a saddle clamp bolt, Chater-Lea clip type headset, and Bayliss Wiley bottom bracket set, all of which have been rechromed.

The frame was built for 26″ wheels.
