Would be fine if some blasted holiday nonsense wasn’t in the way, I could be well under way getting on with it…

The bike is more important

Hi Shaun, suspect the seller might not be on here now - and in case not, I was able to get this at the weekend, so I guess that’s ‘sold’ (mods, perhaps you could amend if Bruce doesn’t get around to it?)

Thanks for that, I think he'll have to delete or amend the post. You've got yourself an interesting frame. If you're a V-CC member given Bryan Clarke a call, he knows the background on Stokes. All the best, Shaun

Ah, neat, thanks Shaun, I’ll drop Bryan a note

I'm in the book, 4924. I mentioned this one to Bryan yesterday, says the lugs are typical Stokes.

I’ll get some better pictures up in a build thread soon. I had a quick look at the thing last night, wondering if the pedals were Tommy Bar CL’s but they’re a bit later (post-war)
Also wondering about the head clip, which I’d always associated with pre-war builds?
