    So curved brake bridge not unique then... And... there are 4 frame numbers listed on the Classic Viking site which begin with Axnnn but no info as to which model they represent. I think you do have a genuine Viking - possibly (probably

    What's the frame number? That could be the clincher. EDIT - I see it on the nearside rear dropout. Looks like AT (or AW) 014? There are frame numbers on the classic viking site. Yours "does not compute" I believe.

    Are the pump pegs combined pegs and cable guide? Not seen that before. And, if original paint you'd expect to see at least a"ghost" of old decal's. It's had a respray at some time in it's life IMO.

    Badge looks early to mid 50s. And the curved rear brake bar (or whatever it is called) I believe is unique to the Severn Valley. Nice early Nervex Pro lugs too. There's a great article about them at Classic Lightweights (can't provide a link using my phone!)

    Mercian - worth it for the frame? - start £75

    Yes, spoils it a bit. Easily remedied though. Lots of views but no bids as yet. Edit - I wonder if it's had a front end clang so I'd be wary of downtube damage, although it looks OK.

    The British bike thread

    We Norwich ol' boys knew Mike BITD. Then we didn't realise what a star he was - or was to become. Much missed.

    Restoring my 1960 Rudge Sports that I rode across the USA in 1961

    I think you'll need 5 posts to qualify for the edit function. Perhaps one of the mods on here could quickly delete the unwanted info?
