Thanks, the problem is I also have my dads 1948 bike as well so I’m going end up with far too much old stuff and need to move some of it. I cleared my mums house last year and found a load of old bike bits that I had forgotten about including an Assos crankset, campagnolo super record Ti bolts, lots of worn out tubs and various other bits of discarded stuff.
Well spotted on the Royce ring, I also had a set of Royce hubs in about 1986 which were brilliant.
Twicewithchips – yes that is exactly what I usually ended up doing!
It’s still a mystery to me who refurbed the bike, a couple of old mates have shops in Edinburgh and it was not them, one day I’ll find out.
