Dirt Disciple
Hi Folks, I’m building a 1947 ‘Hill Special’, from a bare frame and need all of the period components, i.e. Wheelset, chainset, brakes, stem/bars etc.
I’ve only ever built 70’s/80’s bikes before, so any advice and/or guidance as to what should have been fitted would be, as ever much appreciated. I’m guessing Dunlop, Baylis Wiley, GB ????

Thanks in advance. Iain.

Hi Paul, Wow!, the bike looks stunning mate , are you sure you want to break it down??.
Many thanks for going through your parts, and you have literally answered all my prayers in one go. That provides everything I need except bars/stem, brakes and pedals, so I’d like to take you up on that please ( if you are certain you want to part with them that is! ).

Best regards Iain.
