Help with frame identification.

garyfarrar · Oct 30, 2015

I'm trying to identify the origin of this frameset bought on ebay last year. If has Nervex pro lugs and bottom bracket with a four figure serial number and campagnolo rear drop outs. The gap between the holes for the head badge is 57mm.

Edit: tried to edit those image tags but it didn't work either!

Hopefully it has worked this time.

Is it the same frame? Starting off blue and then painted brown.

Re:

Yes it's the same frame. Blue when i bought it then it got a diy paint job prior to building it up.

Re:

Just measured some head badges and 57mm for Claud Butler and Freddie Grubb. Could be a Holdsworth built frame?

Look different sizes but both 57mm. Not necessarily these type of badges.

Re:

It would certainly fit 1955 to about 1960.
5/8 seat stays not too common, long fork rake which does not look to me like a standard Reynolds blade, but as was frequently done, modified by the builder.
More the work of a small maker, hundreds to chose from, makes me think of Queree bros in Birmingham, but they usually had big brass letters on the top tube.

Re:

Where abouts are you? North or South could help as to possible maker.
