The trivia section gives us this gem

"Principal photography was completed in just seven days."

lolz no shit.

A girls bike??? :D

It has a short top tube which suits my mutant form quite well. My dad remembers the shop and confirmed it was definitely there in 67.

Thanks for the info

Good thinking, but they are front and rear. It really is a mystery.

Cheers, I've got that page open right now.

Need parts to build up the mils.

A decent set of cottered cranks
110mm OLN rear hub
sprint rims 40 hole and 32 hole
Bars and stem

I'll be happy to take no so great stuff just to get it up and running while I search for the good booty.

Cheers

Mikee I've got one of those too.

It's the original fork for sure. The eyelets are original. I couldn't say about the drilling it is centred though.

The clearance at the back is the same as the front. The angles are pretty slack.

I'll build up a cheap set of riding wheels while I search for decent parts and old school tubs.
Thanks again for all the help, it's very much appreciated.

What size is that Dolan?

sorry I've found the more info link now.

Even with the eyelets?

So you think it was made for Tubulars and no brakes or guards?

ihatelaw why did you get pulled over under anti-terror legislation?

Who me? they wanted to do a S&S and didn't have to give me a reason other than it was for anti terror purposes. They were serious too, no numbers on the shoulders etc.

Nothing really has changed. Under PACE anytime they wanted to have a look in my pockets they just had to make something up.

When I got pulled by the old bill under the anti terror act I was informed that most of PACE doesn't count anymore. You don;t have the right to know the coppers name, they don't have to ecxplain the situation. Scary stuff really.

If I was running 700s on it there would be no issue. If I want to build it up with period bits 27s aren't going to fit (they are bigger than 70c right?) so it has to be 26s.

Anyone heard of a 60s lightweight using 26s before?

With the 700c pushed all the way toward the front there is about 1 cm clearence between tyre and seat tube and a couple of mm from the bridge (undrilled).

I'd love the black one.

pj (pj) the hole looks off centre.

So you think it may have came afterwards? I would agree if the eyelets weren't there. I think it's just the angle of the picture as the tyre was definitely in the middle in real life and isn't in the pic :)

Here is the rest of the frame with a 700c wheel in the back for reference.

I have an interesting issue. The A F Mills frame I bought on Friday was believed to be a 60s one by the seller. I thought I would bung a 700c (with 23 tyre) wheel in just to have a look how it sat and there is bugger all clearance on the fork. Seeing as this is drilled for a brake and has eyelets for guards am I right in thinking this is actually made for 26 inch wheels? If so wouldn't that make it 50s rather than 60s?

I'm going to freeze to death on my ride today aren't I?

Thanks for the welcome.

That was some kick at the end.

nimbhus: No I didn't. To be honest I got a bit over excited :oops:

Cheers, now the search begins for the rest of the bits :)

The fellas further down who had the nice cloth bar tape were talking about me resto of the frame. I'm glad I saved it as I think re-painting something like that would be a crime.

On a different tip all together I liked that lo-pro frame with the 24 inch front wheel. Not something I'd ride much though :D

I too liked the Holdsworth but the Orangey Red A.F. Mills was the one that made me walk all the way back to Sainsburys cash point.

I'll post up some pics once I have thawed out from my ride (it's snowing here).

I ended up here looking for parts for my new frame that I bought at Herne Hill yesterday.
