Got this off a VCC chap a while ago who bought it badged as a Pollard.
Some months later, I'm finally just getting to the point of thinking about how I'll paint it, so thought I would stick it on here on the off-chance someone might have an idea what it is. It's not particularly fancy so don't think there's enough to go on really but thought I'd try anyway.
Already tried the Classic Lighthweights site and their bit about BB stamping placement etc but it's fairly inconclusive. Has the serial number on the edge of the non drive rear stay placed and orientated as detailed in the photo. And has the NERVEX serial no., NERVEX stamped above a long number, running across the BB shell.
I was told it came with early 60s period components (Mafac Racer brakes, and Allez handlebars. Rigida wheels 36 spoke, 5 speed), but while badged as a Pollard is not one. So really not much to go on, just the pictures, and pretty standard features; Nervex Pro Lugs, nice little lip on the headtube lugs top and bottom, 125-126mm rear spacing, pressed steel drop outs, all English threads...
Any thoughts, clues, or comments appreciated.
Many thanks.
