Yes - that really looks like the bike doesn't it? I found photos of an Elswick light roadster but it had a straight top tube. I'm guessing my bike is a UK model as it has a brazed on lamp bracket on the right hand rear seat stay. Are there any more pictures where that one came from? I'm still intrigued by the brake levers being the 'wrong' way round for a UK bike. Do you know if UK bikes had that arrangement at some time in the past? Also do you know what period the bike you found was produced? I am really grateful or your efforts in tracking down the bike's identity.
