PhillB's 1946 Hobbs of Barbican Superbe. (Entering to beef up the numbers as I love rBotM...)
I bought this as a frameset and built it up with late 40's / 50's parts that you might have had if you were flush in the post war era! The wheels are modern reproductions, because it's a rider.
I had fully intended to to respray it and add new decals, but the folks at the Hobbs historical club have urged me to keep it original, so I'm thinking about it... it's too cold for painting anyway!
The Lauterwasser bars are a nice compromise for someone like me who really doesn't get on with drops!
