CNC were established just before WWII by the Fletcher family and were originally at 112 Boulevard de la Chapelle, Paris. They were greatly favoured by the League riders (see Bernard Howard’s reminiscences). This bike was originally owned by East London RC rider Sid Garrard who was their reserve rider for the 1945 Brighton to Glasgow race. The frame is unusual in having chunky stays as well as main tubes all differing in diameter. Despite the fearsome angles it is a real treat to ride.
