Those Mathauser pads are cool-looking, but deadly! The rubber is just glued on, and now after all these decades, the glue is degraded. I have several of them in my junk pile, and on most of them I see the rubber starting to delaminate. I can flick them off with a fingernail.

I saw a couple of them where the rubber fell off in use, and that was back in the '70s when they were not nearly as old as they are now. Do not ride with them!

Later, they changed the design, to one where the rubbers were held in mechanically, not just glue. If you have those, you're probably OK.

As to what the frame is, maybe a Raleigh with new braze-ons? Definitely a repaint.

Crown looks like one of the feature cuts you could get on a Vagner crown, no.11 maybe.



I miss juvela !
