I like it because it is fillet brazed and very smooth and futuristic for the era, and is fitted with rare RUSS front forks to give some suspension.
It was built by the son of an Olympic cyclist and is number 26 of a probably short run from the Swindon cycle shop UK.
I love the handwritten by fountain pen spec list and receipt from 52'...Bike is shown with 27" wheels from another project, just to show geometry...ken


Surely someone must have a comment about this one ?

I reckon it is pretty good provenance?.ken
