Rear brake looks like an altenburger syncron, that's worth over a tenner lol

An '80s Raleigh 10spd, barn find.

A fade-tastic tiny 46cm 650c wheeled Abilita . North London. @Reynard ?

This 23" dusty Rixon looks like it's served someone well. Interesting slack-angles/shot-in seat stay combo. Mold, Flintshire.

This lovely chrome fork-ended Pat Rohan says 23" on the receipt but looks more 22" to me. Gosport

This £15 (currently) JF Wilson is a bit of a project but looks to be a late 50s? frame set with possible updates (cable hanger, over BB cable guides)...

Listing says '80s - I'm new to all this so what other clues should I be looking out for to tell me it's '50s?

The lugs that made me think it was older: It has the early version of the Nervex Professional lugs which they stopped making mid-50s.

Thanks for the heads up, but much too big. I ride a 38 cm frame...

Thanks for that, was an interesting read.

Interestingly, one of the pics in that article is of an '86 Mercian, so maybe the Wilson was built with NOS ...

Anyone fancy a truly eccentric n+1?

 

[TheDoctor]

Just picked up a Carlton.

Paint is faded, needs new tyres, cables and bar tape, and the wheels will need a fair amount of Coke-and-foiling, but it should scrub up nicely.

Nice Carlton, does it have a yellow base coat ?

 

[TheDoctor]

Dunno. I'm kinda hoping not to find out. It's just a somewhat faded red.
