What a great bike!

I could've been built as a touring bike with mudguard eyes and cantilever brakes. Looks like that could be a rear rack braze-on and has it got a front light bracket braze-on, on the front forks?

What excellent winter's projects!

Hi Mydadscondor. Yes has got braze-on eyelets on the seat stays and a lamp bracket boss on the forks. Two cool projects on the go at the mo.

Unlikely to be a cross bike with pump pegs under the top tube. No good for shouldering the bike! More likely a 'tourer'.

 

[COUPES]

Thanks Old Ned. Tourer fits the bill.

Few updates with polish ground into fingers Thinking blue cloth tape on the handlebars and shellac. Thoughts anyone?

Levers weren't in too bad nick.
