The Holy Grail!

1957 Bill Hurlow Track :shock:

I wouldn't like to guess the winning bid on this one!

 

[bedraggled]

Reached just over £300 with nearly 5 days to go, nine different bidders.
I wouldn't be bidding that much for a damaged frame, how rare are they?

Would the drilling for a rear brake have been done afterwards, it doesn't look central.

Path racer, drilled for mudguard eyes, so I would have expected the frame to be built to take a rear brake. Ride it to the track (with racing wheels on a carrier fixed to forks!), remove brakes.....race! Fixed on the road for winter training, single speed for summer holidays!
It's really rather nice.

It's on my watch list out of curiosity. I recognise the garage door, I wonder where he gets his stuff from? The bacon slicers are rare too!!

Interesting Mercian in the background

I'll try and find the Mercian - which I think is also on FGG - but this one was probably the nicest - can't say what Marque, never found out (and Paul Sadoff had some ideas but we gave up in the end!).

Re:

Old bikes are new to me.

Why is this one so special? The builder?
