But mine is Green, British Racing Green.😃

Pre 40’s so far.

1939 Claud Butler Super Arrow. I found her hanging from the ceiling of a guys workshop who was selling it but had no idea what it was, nor did I. I got it back home and wet the very faded paintwork and the Claud Butler down tube logo came through but nothing else. I got a lot of help in dating...

Just found photos of John when I gave him th Crede back and it in his study.

Hi I only have one Rossin and I am unsure of exact model as it had a full respray before I bought it.

Glad I bought it.

Just noticed fork crown is different to yours.

Did this build for a friend 5 years ago, looks similar? I will have to look back over photos to see if I took note of serial number.

I think sometimes people forget the partner, he dotes on her and refuses to put her into care. Wonderful old boy.

It’s a little on the large side for me but I had to have it, my eyes light up whenever I go into Mario’s workshop.

https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1953-hetchins-experto-crede-lugs.450039/ I did a Crede for John previously, he has it in his study with some of his old cycling clothing draped over it. He can’t ride on the roads but keeps as fit as he can on a Turbo. Such a shame his wife’s dementia is...

I gave up on trying to get the seat post out in case I caused more damage and made that split worse. Frame is now with Mario Vaz to repair any damage, roll out the dent and a respray.

Thanks but too young for this one

Now to choose the components! If I have the date right then the 1970 CB catalogue listed the Olympic as Frameset only so the world is my Oyster. The bottom bracket only has a cable guide on drive side so single chain wheel on front and 5 speed to rear.

We have a contest!

Bought today to build up next year, I think I am right with dating it as 1970 from serial number. It’s been completely resprayed.

Nice, thanks for the votes they mean a lot.

I will go second with this, probably being worked on over Christmas and early New Year. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/hetchins-vade-mecum-h27329.472784/
