Just out of curiosity what do you think it is? Oversize seat stay caps and dropout style seems to point to a Raleigh / Carlton..

Looks great, if i had not just bought a Hobbs i would buy it, thats the sort of bike that you could buy for little more than a supper market bso that may give nothing but trouble and the CB value can only increase over time.

I'm not into bikes much before the 70's but I saw a Jack Taylor on eBay that would be a soulmate for your Hobbs,

Yep, that's the one, can't remember all the description but the oldest of only 4 known? Might go for more!

Blimey, a bike from where I used to work.... Cliff Pratt Cycles in Hull..only ever seen one other for sale. Looks like one of their specials built for a show, maybe an early CTC York Rally....

Anybody in London?

Same seller also has a Wester Ross frame, a rather flashy chrome Fausto Coppi frame , a Knights of Harrow fixie frame, and a beautiful pair of Campag track hubs,
any one of which items may be of interest to our esteemed readers. Postage charges seem slightly random!

Interested in this one then @midlife? Must admit it is rather nice and no bids as yet. Seller is in Notting Hill.
