rBoTM RBotM March 2023 - Open Month - Entries now open

Welcome to RBotM March 2023 - Open Month

Another open month and that means any and all are able to join in and enter.
Looking for as many of those rides that are maybe just being finished off ready for the spring, those that have soldiered on through the winter, or summer, depending on your hemisphere pretty much if you are getting it out the shed or spare room and riding then make sure to take a photo and enter.
The usual idea of 2 photos, a brief description and a link to a page etc where people can find out a bit more information, readers rides, web page etc.
Thanks

Jamie

Here's one I made earlier

Wow, no one entering? I need one small piece (campy cassette lockring; having trouble finding one of the proper size) to add a bike unless I take a wheelset from another ride.

Okay, I'll add the unknown bike since it is together, but I need to update the photo since I have done a little work on it (saddle replaced and set-up proper). I have yet to find another example or any information on early Atlas bikes so I cannot confirm the actual make. Best guess remains Italian 1930s Atlas.

Thanks for posting these 2 examples from such extremes in both design and epoch. I have not seen previous examples of either bike. I would merely flip a coin at this point since both are unique regarding their style and intended use.
Kudos to both entries; I have nothing that comes close to either bike in relation to being completed and in rideable condition.
Good luck!!

Late entry, a Dayton Flyer which is from the early 1950’s I think. I don’t think anybody has managed to work out how to date them from the serial numbers. I have gone off what it looks like and catalogue pictures.
Daytons were made in London and my mum rode one when she was young.

I bought the frame and forks off eBay and then bought parts that I think are compatible.

Link to pictures and build below;

Dayton Flyer

I’ve just bought another frame and forks that was listed as a 1950’s one, I liked the look of it. I think it is earlier than 1950’s any ideas?
