Re: [CR] 1930's Bates Frame

I think I gave out a faulty link the last time round. It should be

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=713316791

failing that use eBay's search for the item number 713316791

Just to support what Hilary has already said, many of these 30's frames were ridden with short stems and long seatposts - kind of puts Giants much copied TCR "compact" frames into context......

These are a few further photographs of contemporary machines and riders from the 1930's that perhpas illustrate this better.
