This would be a great bike to do an"interpreation"
restoration on.Most here want only the purest form of
restoration but bicycles like houses go through
changes during their life span.In building you have to
interpre the era you wish to restore to---could do the
same with a bicycle.Looking at UK ebay and our list
members offering I see a lot of British bare frames or
up-dated bikes.This leads me to beleave mamy of the
British bikes often go through several up-dates.Why
not pick say a middle 60s era when this frame might
have been originaly up dated and build back to that
era of it's life?Or late 70s?Would that not be a tru
repsentation of what would have been seen in Britian
at a rally in the mid 60s?
