Hi all,
1. Hills Special Super Club 1946. 52cm seat tube, 54cm top tube. Built for 26 x 1 1/4 in wheels. This is the tatty bike. At some point in its long life it has been copper plated! I had it powdercoated over the top (in orange) and my wife lined the lugs in white. The main problem with the bike is that I could only source 26 x 1 3/8 rims and tyres. The flex in the frame when going up hill causes these tyres to rub on the chainstay and so I retired it before any damage was done. Brampton style headset fitted, requires a regrease but has bearings. Picture of it built up here:

but only the frame is for sale. I still have the Sun CR18 26 x 1 3/8 alloy rims but don't neccessarily recommend their use.
Now on ebay with a postage option:
