It will be a nice bike again... Proctor Townsend bikes were built here and would date this one to the early 80's and unlike "Proctor" bikes, were built in low number series.
A friend has one of these models and it is a delightful bike althoufgh his is a 50cm frame with that delightful monostay... at 55.5 cm it should be a damn near perfect fit for me.
Other than the head tube and that hideous repair attempt the rest of the frame is clean and straight.
