Dayton Roadmaster circa 1955 UK Built bike London.

Not too many of these around, most frames self destroyed due to faulty electrical welding. Any that have survived and there are a few must have good welds.
Very light construction, Dayton were based in London but went bust around 1960. Had a successful racing team in early to mid 1950's.
This is as close to original specification as I can get but not totally correct. Brooks B17 Saddle is original. A guy is asking over £1,000 on eBay for a similar bike but he will be lucky I think!!!



Nearly finished full restoration.
