If it's a 50's frame then it was 'updated' in the 80's with new components. Did Rotrax have 'models'?

Thanks for reply, Yes the components are a lot newer than the frame,as for models I have no idea,just assumed they did.

Rotrax do use model names, from the 50s there's the Super Course, Concours, La Premiere and the Shirley. I don't think this is 50s though as yours appears to have a decal headbadge, they were metal through the 50s and 60s. If you can get the frame number and email it to Tim Maund at Rotrax he will probably tell you exactly what it is

2mm. look towards edges so you might have to whip the crank off.
