Hello all...
I submitted a posting a few months ago trying to find more information about the history and origin of my Hugh Porter track frame and fork. Any information that I have received so far has been helpful and I thank you all.
I am planning to restore this bike to it's original state. Since all that I have to go on is the frame and fork (and a steel "TA" headset), what I would like to know is what period correct components would a 1972 track bike have had on it then? (including bars/stem, rims, tires, etc).
Was the practice of tying and soldering spokes common then? Would the "TA" headset have been original?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
