Help with REW Reynolds.

Hi.
Living in Northampton I thought I should own a REW Reynolds as they were built only a couple of miles away from my house.
After buying a few components from a local elderly gentleman he said that he had a small REW Reynolds frame and forks and as he can not ride anymore he would sell it along with a few other parts.
It's too small for me so I'll build if for the missus.
After some investigating to choose a colour scheme I have realised that I can't find another frame anything like it.
I am 100% sure it is what he said it is because he knows his stuff and has had it for years.
He has painted it but it is a nice blue / turquoise underneath.
Anyway, here are some photos of the lugs and it's strange BB cable rollers. It also has Campag dropouts.

Re:

Looks about 1960 or just before. 7758 could mean 1958??
Most British frames used domed and slotted stays, these are in the Italian style, Perhaps the rear ends were added a little later.

Thanks Keith.
I thought maybe 1958.
Let's see if anyone else can shed any light on it.
I wish I'd asked more about it now. Hopefully he will bring me more stuff so I can ask him.

hi matt

Nice lugs on that frame for sure , nothing like i have seen on any of the 4 R.E.W Reynolds i have owned over the years . And different frame number format as mine have all been 4 digits in one row .

see the first link for my latest ones

from what i can make out they exsisted from around the 50's to early/mid 80's but sketchy

martin

Thanks Martin.
I did come across yours when I was searching earlier. They are very nice.
I can't wait to get this painted and built.
If the old boy wasn't so knowledgable about the REW Reynolds shop and all the people he knew I would have thought he was wrong and it was made by another builder.

i am not saying he was wrong

if and when he re appears you will have to question him and make notes

i have another one due soon so will see what frame number that has and will advise you

Re:

I certainly will Martin.

Re:

Looks more like a Flying Scot. Any head badge holes?

Re:

No badge holes Simon

Just googled flying scot and agree it does look very much the same.
It also has a curved brake brace thingy.
