Proctor Townsend predessor?
After seeking out an old Proctor it was my good fortune to find two in as many weeks. I have been trying to find a nice old Proctor or Proctor Townsend and now I am lucky enough to have one of each. I did, however, have to give up a nice Marinoni "Special" to get the Proctor which is in near mint condition. The paint is cleverly splattered with paint making paint chips a non issue to touch up. And there is one paint chip that I have noticed so far.
The Proctor is full Super Record with the exception of the wheels. Wheels are not an issue for me since I have a set of Super Record hubs laced to Mavic rims hanging in The Old Shed waiting for just the right bike to hook up with.
