1951 Hobbs of Barbican.

Bought new by my Wife's Father (from Hobbs) for a tour of the Loire Valley with his sister on a similiar machine. Original saddle(B15), Lytaloy seatpost clamp, spearpoint stem and GB rando handlebar, have original S/A hub, just rebuilt but not fitted and NoS Bayliss Wiley front hub (replacing old original), Original Universal brakes and Williams chainset (just rechromed not fitted. NoS Bluemels 'guards. Frame repainted over 30 years ago but replacement downtube decals impossible to find - despite having an old timer friend who knew the Hobbs.
