Sweet history there!

Beautiful frame

Good luck with the sale

The RO Harrison has luverly lugs on it, the head lug is ace.. it would be great with a long seat post...
a 1954 road bike by the same maker went for £1270.00 in march on ebay
NEEEEEEEED

Damn shame about the frame..
Bob Jackson will do top tube and down tube for 120, might be worth it..

Hi Joe,
Just received the Hobbs frame from my bruv, very nice.
There was a number on the dropout beneath the paint after all, he couldn't spot it either - very faint but the same as on the fork steerer, which I've managed to date Sept '49, cool to have a matching frame/fork!
Good stuff
Regards
Mark

Manchester like it says!

Take the Hobbs off you - did you get the numbers off the rear dropout? - Have the rest of the headset? Where are you based Joe?

Cheers
Mark

Hell, dibs anyway

Didn't Hilary Stone just sell one for 89 of those nuggets?

~Could be wrong

Anybody got an angle on pre-registration???
Spent a fortune on me 1946 ride and built a ride for my Mrs,
400 spots isnt many..

Hopefull

Titan stem is lovely, thanks Y-S

Possible dibs on Titan, PM sent

Pm Sent re the remaining two.
Live in SE1 so can collect tomorrow am if you're interested.

Where you based Fastfreddy??

That lacing is worse than my 5 year old's converse - funny how he doesn't seem to have noticed...!!

Cool, when you off stateside? Would be very interested..

PS any other bike bits?

Hah, look at me talkin interior decor..

How much for that Band B italia sofa - that's what caught my eye..!

Looks like the usual (quite well welded) Taiwanese frame but Iit's not to be confused with the current crop of Mini badged offerings - these bikes are done by Mike Cooper, the son of the original MIni Cooper Team owner from the 60's, I think there's a British Racing Green one on offer, I have to admit the ones I saw had Sturmey Archer 3 speeds and looked pretty heavy - oh well he's having a go aint he?

God, Wardy was the guy who got me into cycling in the first place - he and his son used to do a sunday jaunt which was awesome - used to get on his rollers when it rained - good memories, just thinking about all the amazing Campag bits he used to give me to keep the bike running - funny guy with an eye for the ladies, wish i still had my Turbo seat and those rimzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks edscoble, but anything in the UK, using up Saturday morning at Mandela Way postal center is a freekin pain in the proverbial.

Hi there,

crashed a Charge new product launch (by accident) in Soho about a month ago(ish),
apart from talking to the lovely Charge girls we noticed some of the bikes had really cool colour-coded mudguards, looked skinny and metally and nice..

any ideas where I can get something like that - painted or paintable, they said they weren't selling them seperately.

I've got an early 50's fillet brazed monster with ENORMOUS gaps around the wheels, and besides that I wanna keep all that Chinatown msg loaded splatter off my ass.

Anyone found a 2010 EAI Godzilla - that frame looks to have some lovely details - quality dropouts, from what I've seen in some older US fotos, meant to outshine the Bareknuckle but looks to be hard to get hold of over here..?
Freaks me out getting a frame posted from abroad.

Hello All -

I'm guessing that the Specialized Globe Roll 1 has no brakes but could be wrong - niether the Globe 1 or 2 show brakes in the fotos.. #2 looks gorgeous though #1 has threaded headset
Would need drops for the velodrome though?

looked at those frames - probably seen some serious steroid induced track action back in the early 80's!!

Hi I'm new here but rode fixed in the mid eighties so been here before!

...two chainrings on the rear wheel - do you mean you want to keep the multiple freewheel on there?

PBin the 5 speed freewheel and get a single speed freewheel or fixed sprocket and see which ratio suits you best.

Can you take the chainrings off the crankset? Running one ring and getting a good chainline is a good idea.

Regards.
