Any ideas?? Warwick of Birmingham Pre-War

Any lead is a good lead at this point.

Chrome on the forks but don't think it's chrome on the frame as there is no chipping/flaking.

Looked at Elswicks just now and the Brighton Road looks good but no cyclo hanger and the top of the seat stays aren't a match.

Even took this one to Hillary Stone who said he had never seen a frame number placed there. He did say he suspected a larger builder though

ahhh....THAT's what Middletons look like head on. I couldn't work it out from the 1930's ads.

They're really nice. Would certainly snap them up but they can be difficult to identify from the side like most ebay pics.

Anybody else think this thread has gone off track?

Maybe we should just start a new handlebar fetish thread

Some interesting designs here for pre War Handle bars.

....and very clear illustrations as well. Better than I've seen before.

Thanks Bagpuss

Surely there is a market for reproductions of these?
