This is the old banger I rescued last Autumn off a building site. Turned out reasonably well, but it's a bit mighty for me, so may well strip it back down to keep the F&F. Another old steel frame that I can't date with any accuracy - according the the seatpost stamp, could be '63-ish. According to the BB stamp, could be '73-ish. According to another I saw with the same unusual chain guard, good be '58-ish (doesn't have the lock on the forks, so it's no earlier. Anyway, it's a fun Bitzer now and was an education rebuilding cottered BBs!
