Re: Just so. I posted hastily and over-confidently on evidence that would no doubt have been rejected out of hand by anyone intimate with Gillotts and Rotraxes.... I am a bad detective, and will butt out.. :)

i like the rotrax

I wish there was room for this in my shed! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152479591887

Re: 1950s less rusty Chrome & Nervex lovelynessness Has a hint of Rotrax about it

...of a beautiful machine. Sadly, others are right about what it might fetch. Above a grand is definitely pushing it. I say this as a total Rotrax nut (1954 Concours; 1951 Vel d'Hiv; 1957 La Premiere and a 1949 Super Course). None are restored to that standard but all fantastic to ride and look...

Re: Plating looks far better than a Rotrax I had many moons ago. This appears to of had a good base plate prior to chroming .

...brake bridge , if original, rules out a really high-end frame. Still a very decent frame though. Nice fork crown too. May well be a top end Viking, probably not Rotrax (unbushed brake bridge). The style of head lug (horns pre c55, fishtail later) could narrow down the age. Hope this helps.

Rotrax / MNA Major Nichols ? Chrome Superlight Road bike - 60-70's chrome 5 speed bike - not great over holes in the road and I think I prefer Mtb bikes so she has to make way. She's compliment with L'Eroica std's being pre1980 she has a collection of brands befitting her. 531 Stainless Frame...

Rotrax are lovely! When I used to ride fixed, mine was one of my favourites! http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2004/d/jones20.htm

...my frame resprayed back in the 60s and was sent decals from the importer - Evian GB limited, who also sold all the Stronglight, Simplex and Mafac parts. I always wanted a matching track frame but could not find one, so had a Rotrax frame made in the Helyett colours. That one I still have...

Re: Rotrax 'Concours' - 1959 - Road / Track Hi Dave. Thanks for the comments and link to your own, or what was once your own. 1959 too! Very nice. I've not seen many Concours models, and fewer road/track ones. Nice to see another. Do you miss it? I don't doubt I'll regret selling this, it rides...

Interesting Mercian in the background :) Shaun

...frame is total rubbish, H Stone loves them, but he wrote a book, and claims they are ridable. I had the hugely expensive jigs, left one at Rotrax and abandoned the other when I moved the shop. For any serious rider these frames were very weak, one inch tubes and lugless construction...

that does look nice Me thinks i will convert my pollard over to fixed next year

Isn't Rotrax from the 50's ?

Heres my friends' neighbour's Rotrax bought from ebay a number of years ago. Ignore the 105, I'd like to know more about the year and what would have been on there. I'm sure it should have had a proper mech hanger too.

Correct you are Sir, I have an affinity for Rotrax frames first for their beauty and craftsmanship (someday I will find a Rotrax Super Course) and second for their connection with speedway motorcycle racing. Photos below quoted text. Quoted from "Classic Rendezvous" From the current Rotrax web...
