WTB: Hilton Wrigley, 57cm-60cm

[LeicaLad]

Yes, I know the odds are practically impossible...

Still, if anyone would be willing to part with a Hilton Wrigley, I can assure you of a permanently appreciative home.

A 56cm would be okay, too!

I know where there was one for sale recently - but it might have been sold. I'll check and get in touch if it is still available.

Not the easiest brand of bike to find these days!

 

[LeicaLad]

Thank you. Yes, almost obscure.

This is more of a treasure hunt than the usual bike search.

Do let me know. Thanks, again.

 

[LeicaLad]

Not to seem tooo eager...

Any word?

I must admit that part of my drive to find an H.Wrigley is that I am of the clan.

I've hardly been at home for the past couple of weeks but I'll try and find out for you in the next couple of days.

 

[LeicaLad]

No stress. Only appreciation.

At your best convenience.

Cheers,

Owen

THere is one here...but it will be gone probably by the time you see this...

Edit...gone...I found your post while googling the frame as I was interested in it but it went for a bit too much.

 

[LeicaLad]

Thank you. Very kind of you to post it up for me.

I did see this. The frame was discussed at some length by those who, if they didn't know this specific frame, knew Hilton Wrigley. They were the one's who alerted the seller about the actual identity.

My own response was to hold back. I know that a proper H.Wrigley International is out there and waiting for me. I shall be patient, as there is no alternative.

I'm also hoping to find one in the U.K., as if any restoration work is needed, it really must be done in the U.K. I don't think elsewhere would get it right, eh?

This frame was interesting, but the spindly fork blades against the massive oversized tubing of the frame was/is a bit of a mismatch.

Do, please, if anyone does see a decent H.Wrigley, do please remember to drop me a line.

Thank you, yet again.

Just a small bump. Hope springs eternal.

Somewhere, I know there is a Hilton Wrigley International just waiting for a new home with me.

Any leads will be greatly appreciated.
