I heard gears were the new thing so I picked up this from Vaidas - thanks Ashe for the tip off.
A customer sold it to to him and it's all original - down to the pump, Dunlop tyres and the Brookes B-72 (which is dryer than a saharan teetotaler, but in good nick aside from this - I'm about to nip out to buy some proofide).
Seems to be early 60s as the B-72 wasn't fitted until 61 onwards according to Sheldon, but the dates on the paperwork are 53 and some other things from Sheldon's chart don't quite stack up, so when I've given it a wash I'll have a look at the rear hub for a date code.
I think a lot of elbow grease will be needed but it should shine up lovely.
