Took a look at your bike make (Curtlo, not seen one before) and found this: http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2008/cc493-laurencep0608.html Made me laugh because I've done similar with a Kona Fire Mountain apart from the Gears. Now SS, which is about as much use as ice to an Eskimo where I live....

Search EBay Uk for user: farnhamcycles Check sale items, lots of parts mainly new but useful to builders, also glasses and helmets

Got a Ballistic frame in the shop, could get the forks and do a complete Ballistic Build but then again don't think the frame we have has got the correct head tube for sus forks so probably better off putting Project Two's or similar on it...

Ummm, £5,000 ? :shock...

Took a look at the hub and 52 is printed so I guess the Cycle is: Rudge Ladies Fast Sports 1952 Not in bad condition for a cycle that is 60 years old. I think it's the oldest one we have at Cycle:Recycle

Met slmracing (no real names published unless you want them) yesterday at our workshop. Useful contact and nice guy to meet up with :) If you fancy popping across for a visit yourself then feel free

Thanks, another useful reply. I googled Rudge Ladies Fast Sports and came up with this: http://www.theoldbicycleshowroom.co.uk/c1934-rudge-ladies-fast-sports-1507-p.asp Apparently that's 30's which falls more into the timeline that the couple who donated it alluded to. Will keep...

Useful Resource Found this whilst looking around: http://www.oldbike.eu/museum/frame-number-bicycle-dating-guide/ From picture's I've seen online it seems that the bike is either 50's or 30's, but I would imagine the former from the research I've done so far, and the other useful posts on...

We have frame chasing and facing tools in the shop, but we are a bit of a way from you unless you fancy a drive out/weekend away?

There's some here but can't find that particular frame type: http://oldbike.wordpress.com/

Thanks for being the first to reply and noted Rudge, will google on "Rudge" and see if I can research some more

Hi, No trick questions but we had this bike donated to us by an elderly couple who said they had been riding it for a long long time and it was possibly pre WW2. I have taken some pictures today but we actually have the cycle hung out of the way outside our workshop in the dry. If...

Re: Fix, Clean and Make Good on the Overbury's Wildcat Well would you like to put an offer in or not?

Fix, Clean and Make Good on the Overbury's Wildcat Thanks for that and you're right on the M700 Deer Head groupset, very nice and rare. Friction Shifters are in GC as is the chainset and most other components. I'll chat to the guys and say about potentially doing a full strip and rebuild...

Overburys Wildcat Price negotiable and more detail here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1731834#1731834

Yep, already met some nice folk on here virtually and will be meeting more in the flesh soon enough. Been in the online game for a while now so don't take offence to negative criticism anymore, it's not worth the energy Thanks for all the Positive Comments

Thanks for the Info. I've purchased it now and I'll let you know whether it's 22 or 24 splined when it arrives. If it's 22 it'll come in handy anyway and I'll get back to the drawing board.... Hopefully the latter :wink:

Checking on price BTW I did do all the usual EBay advanced search and google search but couldn't find much about this particular Cycle at all. So mainly I am basing the price around a similar frame only that sold on EBay a while back and that the old Project Manager said it was as rare as...
