Hetchins advice/help

[obstando]

Capagnolo ends were common from mid 50s, also brazed on cable eyes look right to me, you can't run the gear cable above the bottom bracket because of the bent chainstays.
I sold a number of hetchins in the 50s.

Agreed Keith - looking at a 1953 Hetchins catalogue Campagnolo front and rear ends were offered as an option for the princely sum of 18 shillings

Re: Re:

Good work in posting here. For this period, the knowledge is on the British side of the Atlantic rather than the Bike Forum membership.
Please think more broadly than Campagnolo. The 1950s saw much innovation and groupsets didn't exist. Many manufacturers specialised in certain components, and it is reflected in those components which have survived.
Look through the Holdsworth Aids that I linked to.

When you can establish the frame date I am sure we can be clearer as to the components that we would put on the frame, depending on how you planned to use it.

Thank you for your private message - I cannot reply because of me being a new member I assume.
Great information thanks and I will be happy to keep you and the board updated on my progress.

Thanks again
