Lovely! Perfection on wheels.

What a wonderful, elegant, understated bike.

It has lovely proportions and just enough colour to add a 'Wow'. Those wheels and tyres complete the look of the whole bike.

That is a bike I could spend quite a bit of time admiring.
Is there a story behind it?
How long have you owned it?

Smashing bike by possibly the best builder in the Birmingham area. His bikes were ridden by many major star riders in the 60's and 70's.

Lots of info. here -

Lovely!

Don't you dare 'restore' it!!!!

That patina is the mark of memories.......maybe not yours, but someone's......and it deserves to stay.

No plans to restore it, im a fan of letting a bikes life live on, some cool lining on the lugs of this one. Contrasting red, blue & black. It,ll be a shame to lose it.
