Were all Rixon frames numbered with a RX suffix?
I have one that has this and just bought another which doesn’t so, although it’s nicely built, it could be something else.
It looks to be an attempt to build to mid-Century style with 120mm spacing, highly recessed flutes on the chain stays, bolt-on brake fitting, flat fork crown.
There is no sign of a seam on the bracket shell and the threads are fairly deep. The seat bolt is recessed on one side for an allen bolt, the other side threaded.
Given that Rixon was a trading name and their builds were by Neil Shankland could this just be a refurb of a much old frame with a few modern touches added on. Others offer that service, did they?
