Sexy.
Love the color.
What kind of centerpulls are those?
Is that a MAFAC rear hanger?
Is this the "Mars Red" that is referred to in the Kitching catalog?

Welcome to bikeforums Cam! I already made an offer on this one, it's a beaut. I think it's quite a bit later than '61, though. The early 60's Model B's came with Record components - "no record" hubs, Record derailleur and shifters, steel stem and bars, Nitor saddle and post, and record or Cinelli headset. All the components I see on this bike look quite a bit later. Someone made a comment on another post that B's tended to have lower spec'd components, which is true of the late 60's/early 70's bikes, but not of the earlier. Those brakes look like some kind of Altenburger to me, but I might be wrong. I'm also almost positive I see a Bloor Cycles decal on the seat-tube. The paint on this bike is amazing - I absolutely love that colour.

"As miamijim pointed out, your best bet for a date is on the lock nuts of the hubs. Otherwise, the best you could do is 1961-late 60s. Not many Bs were sold after the late 60s.
Is the RD Gran Sport, Record or Nouvo Record? GS=1961-1963. R=1963-1967. NR=1967+"
No dates anywhere. Gran Sport rear derailleur
1961-1963 Cinelli Model B?
