Re: Lovely looking wheel. I have a 500 and 550 on Assos Pat P's. Do you have a rear wheel to match this? Ideally I am trying to move up to 8 speed on 126 OLN using freehub technology. I need to hang up the Assos!

Re: Oh yes. Past tense. I hadn 't posted that! Fancy teasing us! How long ago did you sell it?

Re: I very much doubt I have any photos of it but there is ONE album I can check IF I can find it. Dropouts. No idea. I cannot recall doing that to it. From memory TV forks weren't even chrome when I got it. That's the reason I seem to recall recall the frame had already painted yellow when...

Re: It did have Carlton transfers on. The forks looks like Raleigh Professional Mk. V. And G stands for Gazelle Holland on Raleigh and Carlton serial numbers. As I am from Nottingham, you never would have a bike which wasn't Raleigh or Carlton. Perhaps the frame is 1950's or 1960's...

Surely Giant weren't in existence pre-1980?
