Same curved bridge as well.

Just might be a Major Nichols - that wrap-over looks pretty fine to me. look at the frame on his shoulder http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/bu ... chols.html Nervex Pro, same wrap-over - which was his trade mark.

I think I have found a reference to your bike http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/bi ... ts-rb.html the author mentions a late falcon which was the Ernie Clements signature model. It would explain all - modern looking transfers for EC. Not a mystery after all - it is what it says on the tin...

Another thought. If your interest in Road Bikes evolves and you go on to own another frame - you allready have a great fixed/winter possibility. The nearest you can get to man/machine harmony. No bosses, horizontal ends - spot on .

In some ways it’s adding up, but there are lots of weird variables. The bike came complete (from a friend – keen cyclist etc) with the frame being much better than the equipment. In other words the frame had been demoted for commuter use. Lots of cyclists will re-enamel a winter frame and stick...

Campagnolo of the correct period allways looks good. With that frame you could get away with Nuovo Record & Super Record 70s to mid 80s or early C-record, Chorus etc - or shimano Dura Ace and so on. Hours of pleasure on the net looking at catalogues - a good place to start...

I've just noticed that the top eyes are fluted - where stayes join to seat cluster. This a very good sign - extra work from a build point of view. There is no doubting the quality of your frame. Up-grade the componentry and your on to a winner.

Bocama lugs - nice http://veloworks.com/lug_reference/boca ... 27002.html I like that fork with semi sloping crown and those ends could be campag 1010. If you opened the nut that holds the brake to the frame - and find a hole that is (a good few mm) larger than the bolt passing through it -...

OK, the reason for the sound being dull on the top tube is probably the cable routed allong it. I hope you dont mind my honesty, but the frame appears to outshine the equipment on it. The weight is high but a good groupset would bring this down, although, the gear on it does not look heavy -...

I would research Falcons on the web and try and find some distinguishing feature to ID the bike - a popular bike in America - loads of images. Flick (tap) the top tube (in the middle) with you finger nail and try to imagine the gauge of the steel from the sound. If it sounds thin - it's...

It looks like the frame was originally a Falcon that has been re-painted. Ernie Clements own badge is different (although, as its been prised off then glued, it's difficult to say). Also, I,m not sure that EC built frames under his own name whilst he was director of Falcon. His last firm that...

Clements It’s difficult to find stuff on Clements that isn’t Falcon orientated. Anyway the best source is his son (E. Clements) who owns cyclesclements.co.uk. I bought a Clements last summer and absolutely love it. Google image search reveals some nice pics of the man racing on his own machine...
