For Sale Harry Hall Road/Path frame 54cm.

[Vetus Ossa]

Selling, as downsizing bike collection, and house in the near future.

This is a beautiful Harry Hall Road/Track frame with ¾ chromed rear end and full chrome forks, the chrome is very good for it’s age but not perfect

Drilled for front brake only, as it’s a fixed wheel frame.

It is a used bike, so has patina, please study the pictures and ask any questions you need to. Most of the stone chips etc, are on the underside of the tubes so not seen when built up, and easy to remove with the right skills. In my opinion it would be a shame to repaint it, it’s beautiful as is.

Built in the mid 80’s with Reynolds Professional tubing.

It also has a Campagnolo Super record headset, that is in very good condition and included in sale.

£250. plus postage.

Looks lovely but it can't have been made in '69 out of Professional .

You're right, Professional was later wasn't it.

It's quite possible that it's been refinished and had the wrong Reynolds decal put on .
I'm not expert but the forks look as though they could well be older .
Sorry to be completely unhelpful .

Edited to correct date built? Is this a GUESS

 

[Vetus Ossa]

Honestly, yes.
The bottom bracket shell has two sets of numbers, 13 and 1169, so I originally thought, probably incorrectly, that it was the 13th frame built in November, 1969. To me the fork crown does suggest it was built in that period, but I am not an expert, maybe someone here is?
LLoyds decals tells me that Reynolds Professional tubing dates from post 1982, so maybe Sm@alite is correct in what he said above, it wasn't built for me so I can't say for sure.

Weekly bump.

Lovely frame…as far as I recall Road path frames were a bit of everything frame back in the day…and usually had mudguard eyes for winter cycling especially for racers…maybe this is a track frame with a drilled out front fork for riding fixed on the road?
