I just received an email from W.Yorkshire, England - responding to an inquiry I made about the custom frame I picked up a few weeks ago. I was curious whether the frame was built by a bike retailer I found in the UK through a Google search:

I asked:

“Was Bill Hargreaves a custom bicycle framebuilder, active in the 1970s ? and, if so:
Is this photo linked below one of his bicycles?”

Today's response:

"Yes we were building frames in the '70s
The bike you have was a team issue - God knows how it got to America."
Eddie.
