RARE C.1955 HETCHINS NULLI SECUNDIS 59CM VINTAGE ROAD BICYCLE FRAME, STUNNING | eBay

59CM SEAT TUBE (C-T). STUNNING LUGS. IT MUST BE A MAN-WITH-A-VAN TYPE SERVICE WHO WILL TAKE THE ITEM AS IT IS. 58CM TOP TUBE (C-C). 27 X 1 1/4" WHEEL. - COLLECTION IN PERSON IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE. - YOU WILL NEED TO RE-ATTACH THE PEDALS, HANDLEBARS, SADDLE AND FRONT WHEEL.

www.ebay.co.uk

59cm (just too tall for me) and I'm fairly sure it's 1960s not 1955.
The frame number seems to be H28445 not H23445 (which shouldn't exist) which makes it 1960/1961 I think.

Update: Sold for £300 + £23.95 post
