Retro Newbie
1948 Hobbs Raceweight with many original components.
The frame is in excellent condition; paintwork largely intact with some rust patches, please see photos. Fitted with fixed wheel from new. Supplied in November 1948 by Bunting's of Wealdstone for the price of £35 (I have the receipt). It was last used around 20 years ago and all the running gear is operational and in good order. Requires new tubes, tyres and brake blocks to be ridden. Viewing welcome. To be honest I don't really know how to value it including all the components, so I'll start at £350 and see if there's any interest.
Frame: Hobbs Raceweight made from Reynolds 531 throughout
Frame no: 82734
Saddle: Brooks
Brake callipers: Strata side pull
Hubs: Maillard
Rims: Rear - Weinmann Front - Wolba
Pedals: Brampton B8
Seat tube: 23"
Top tube: 22"
Collect from London NW10.
