Wow that’s a really special one. You must be so excited!
Was there a cut-off year when Paul moved over to TIG welding for all frames? And/or were the fillet braized frames a special order?
I think it looks great with the U-brake - gives the seat stays and rear end a very clean look.
Looking...
Nice base.
Looks mostly original apart from saddle, seatpost and tyres.
Looks like your seat-post mounted rear brake cable collar has been butchered? If it works, that’s fine, but worth looking out for a replacement.
These ride lovely - enjoy!
