Trying to find out the brand/maker of this bike I picked up Sat night just before Tier 4 and all came into force.
Clearly not Bertrand (CA or GB one), as the name on the downtube is actually painted on, so could be name of the owner, perhaps after repaint?
Here are the facts and figures:
- 120 rear space & Simplex long horizontal dropouts/no hanger brazed on
- Campagnolo front dropouts
- 27.2 seatpost
- small triangular braze on to prevent DT shifter slipping
- no front badge holes/perhaps filled in
- no front light mount on forks, perhaps filed off
- gear cable guides brazed on (one came off)
- Nervex bottom bracket shell
- Serial number 9667
Gear was mix of DA 2nd Gen black edition gears,shifters,headset/Galli seatpost/Campagnolo Record brake levers, SR Royal crankset (Dark anodised?), Universal Super 68 purple!! anodised calipers/ alloy 27 1&1x4 alloy wheels with 5sp Regina freewheel on one side and threads for single speed one on other side.
Equipment points out to mid 70s, but could this be earlier frameset, looks a lot like late 50s Holdsworth?
Have asked elsewhere, but no concrete answers yet. Anyone can point out any details to find out more?
Images (sorry for quality, bad light down in basement) below. Rear dropout is non drive side, same on drive one, you can see attached claw hanger, not a brazed one.
Many thanks in advance
