I got my hands on a new frame this holiday season. I'll been collecting bits for it over the past few months. I'll keep the forum posted of my progress.
To begin, heres the frame. I spent some time yesterday treating a bit of rust, and touching up the paint.
If anyone can help ID the bike, I'm happy to hear your comments. So far it is eluding me. I've ruled out Bob Jackson & Mercian, and haven't found a matching model in Raleigh, Holdsworth, or Claud Butler.
