...use in city traffic. Over the years, I've kept double sided pedals on it for that reason. I had some strong, reliable wheels built for it by Rotrax Cycles in Southampton as broke the front rim and I was also riding the bike for longer rides on weekends. Original wheels were silver 32H Mavics...

Re: 1950s: Airlite, Ideale, Brampton, Renold, GB, MAFAC, BW etc. Rotrax road/path frame?? Nice lugs

Re: Fine colour choice my friend. I have too many frames at the mo but a Rotrax Super Course would be my choice for a 'too many+1' scenario.

I have been looking for an old 40's-50's Rotrax frame in a large size for a while. If anyone has one they would like to sell please let me know. Any condition considered. Thanks

Ta, might end up PM'ing you about that at some point! I'm probably going to stash this one in the loft for a bit as I have a Rotrax and Ken Ryall in the queue to build first and need to ponder if/how to paint. I did have a bit of a an eye out for a Westland but nothing has been forthcoming...

Re: 1950s: Airlite, Ideale, Brampton, Renold, GB, MAFAC, BW etc. Yep. Frame will be for sale too. Time to let it go and fund a modern build.

Re: Hi , yes it’s a 1950’s Headset and I’d like to put it my Rotrax build . I have some unbranded races in my spares box which I have tried but the bearings don’t quite sit right inside the cups , so I’d better keep to the stronglight if poss . There are some for sale on eBay but though I’d...

Rotrax did similar seat stay clusters but not sure it's one of there's...

I only say Rotrax as its so damn close to the one in my mates' neighbour's shed...

Re: That is likely to be a Rotrax.. http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/de ... ax-hs.html

Re: Much as I would like it be so, I have read that rotrax numbers run round the edge of the bb shell.

Re: The relief at the top of the seat stays has a scalloped section rather than a flat angled section like I have seen on some rotrax.

Re: Rotrax 'Concours' - 1959 - Road / Track Nice! Very similar to one I resurrected http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2004/d/jones20.htm Inflation eh! think I got a ton for mine! GLWS.

Re: Hi Torqueless, How do you arrive at it being likely to be a Rotrax...?

Re: Rotrax 'Concours' - 1959 - Road / Track Only because you ask (and note that I am no longer as focussed as I used to be on such machines), I find it difficult to believe that it would do more than a grand on even a good ebay day. It would probably fetch approaching what you are seeking IF...

Re: Rotrax 'Concours' - 1959 - Road / Track Small reduction - £50 off. I'd be more than happy and interested to take comments on price... Have I grossly over estimated value? Or it needs a rather specific collector? Wrong era for here? Or have to go to eBay? (Although don't fancy the perils...

Re: I'd love it to be a rotrax. I have hankered for one for a while. I live in Southampton and remember the shop well. Real old fashioned shop to the day it shut. Bare wooden floors and dark wood cabinets wall to wall, frames and wheels hanging from the ceiling.

Re: Rotrax 'Concours' - 1959 - Road / Track Many thanks Geoffrey. Appreciate the kind words on the restoration. And especially thanks for the advice on value, good to receive words from someone who is a "total Rotrax nut". It unfortunately only takes a few such words from a likeminded fellow...
