Help with REW Reynolds.

[biggs682]

are you going to leave as is paintwork wise ???

 

[Matt@velochic]

Ok I now know it has Nervex professional lugs.
And no, once I find out what it is I will be reprinting it as it has been painted badly already.

 

[biggs682]

who are using as i have one that might need a paint job ?

 

[Matt@velochic]

We will do it ourselves .
I'm a partner in Reflex Auto Design in Daventry , we build some pretty special show vehicles.
My brother is very handy with a spray gun.
Here are my Dawes that we did.

Re:

Brake bridge Nervex lugs were the first that made me think Scot. I have a 56 Scot, under all the paint is a beautifully made frame, Matt. 77th frame made in 1958? Possibly.
What bottom bracket is it?

[Matt@velochic]

Yeah brake bridge, that's what I meant
The BB is not original, I remember him saying that.
Just need to find out if REW used those lugs ever.

Doesn't seem to sit well with the Flying Scott numbering scheme though. Should be a letter at the end to designate the year (H for 195: http://www.flying-scot.com/rattray/scot ... mbers.html

Re:

Yeah I'm still sure it's a REW Reynolds due to the guys relationship with the shop.
It's just strange that I can't find one similar.

Re:

Alot of frame builders used Nervex in the 50s-60s, easily available and were very good. I would remove the paint carefully and see what's underneath. Maybe remains of any transfers or they maybe there. Agreed with no letter on there for a flying scot.
