Re: Thanks Philip, there's some fantastic info there. Don't know why but I feel even more proud of my old Hobbs now. I know it has new components as well as old , but just running a classic 62 year old frame along side modern bikes puts a big smile on my face. :D I've got nothing against...

Thanks for the comments, I do love this frame. It rides great and weighs 10.5 kg with lights and pump etc. I'd love to see some pics of other Hobbs' that would be great.

Hi, just joined and would like to show my Hobbs. My Dad passed it on to me and his friend sold it to him in the 70's. The serial number is partially worn away but I think it's A3748 from 1953. Any more info would be great, the badge says 'special model' but I can't find anything about that...
