well i managed a short trundle on the new Pollard and even with a very notchy bottom bracket due to being unused since 2002 i can honestly say its a glorious machine and one that i will enjoy riding .
unsure of its age but has a grease nipple port on top of the bottom bracket , track style rearward facing rear dropouts , 531 forks that were used when re commissioned in 1999 by previous owners father . total weight as in pic is 10 - 11 kg so light for a stealie .
