Thanks folks...you're on the money yet again.

It does say Reynolds on there and Made in England. And this triggers my memory of the same. No number as far as I can recall. So maybe someone "borrowed" the Reynolds name?

I bought the complete bike in Northern Ireland with my hard-earned cash when I was about 16 and rode it south across the border through customs...back when there used to be border customs. It was my first lightweight. Nowhere near top end but it was all I could afford back then and it was good enough for me.

Sadly I didn't take as good care of it over the years as I should have. Stored in a shed but not protected sufficiently from the moist air we have in this climate.

I'm thinking of restoring it just for the heck of it...by stripping and hand-painting motivated by the recent threads on here.
