Benelux mech is fux’d?

Or this may prove more useful (I have a very clear PDF of original but not sure how to insert it here) - someone will tell me no doubt.

Here's a clearer version. The PDF was too big to attach.

Have you considered a hub gear? I think I may have a 4 speed sturmey archer hub. I think, I would need to check as I sold "a few"

Ah, now, I didn’t but am now ‘invested’ (ie sunk-cost-fallacy-trapped) into this new fangled disrelli mechanical money pit

Are you interested in building your wheels? I was about to put the following early 50s wheel bits in the classifieds:
-a pair of 32/40 spoke 27x1-1/4” Dunlop steel rims. Front in VGC, rear good condition but has gone through the chrome in a few places on the braking surface.
-Resilion 40 hole high flange chromed steel fixed/free rear hub in matching condition to above.
-Exeltoo 32 hole high flange chromed steel front hub NOS / never laced

Also these bits:
-Resilion spoon brake lever, 1930s
-late 40s Raleigh/Rudge/BSA front calliper, nickel plated steel
-Classic alloy drops on 80mm SR stem, 25.4mm clamp, 150mm drop, 39cm ctc at drops. I think these are 50s/60s GB Maes bars in a 1980s SR stem. Wrapped in black leatherette tape in VGC.

Certainly not averse to a wheel build, have all the tools and (limited supplies of) patience - pm me with details of the rims and hubs?

The idea of a thousand tiny ball bearings pinging in every possible direction and into any nook, gap and crack in the garage floor is SO appealing that I fully intend to buy a lot of beer and spend Saturday faithfully following these instructions

If you listen carefully, around mid- afternoon tomorrow, you will hear my swearing - however far away you live

I love this place

Take it apart in a taped up box.

OK, I was exaggerating slightly - it's only 12. I'll listen out for you.

I'd still need to take my socks off.

Great, will send some pics later. You’re near Slough aren’t you?
