NOS from either 1952 or '49 depending on which expert's got it right. Beautiful chrome.
Rare as that is, and it's got to be rarer than the Masi we saw a few monthsa ago, they've got something rarer. Click the "See other Auctions" link and you'll see a Sturmey-Archer 3 speed fixed gear hub, also NOS. They pop up on occasion and seem to sell for about $400 or so. This NOS one will probably rival the price of the frame.
If you're willing to drop the big $ you could build the ultimate English Club Racer from the 1930s-1950s era. Yours would be a bike most of the "clubmen" wouldn't have been able to afford back in the day, but boy would they have admired it.
Already out of my range and under reserve but that IS the vintage bike I'd love to find somewhere.
