Hi there I have been asked to sell this frame for a work mate. They believe it to be a Flying Scot I am not so sure. The headbadge is missing and the front forks are not original. Frame number is 522 located under BB. There is also a missing oiler close to the number. Nervex lugs and very attractive indented chain stays this is a very good quality 50's road frame whoever the maker. Free from dings or dents. Pump pegs on down tube rather crudely removed (hacksaw) but enough meat left to file down nicely or re-braze replacements. Cyclo/Stallard type road ends. Frame appears to be mid to late 50's and is quite light. There are three holes in the head? Will include a pair of Gillott front forks which have a closing matching lug pattern but the column will need lengthening. This will make up into a very beautiful 50's Scottish or English classic road bike but only suitable for serious and dedicated restorers. Nothing major or daunting but be aware of costs. UK price £32.00 includes Parcelforce. Overseas by air Insured £100.00. If anyone has any clues regading the frame number or is interested please contact off list.

Thats all for now. Keep those wheels spinning, in your memories if not still on the road. Be lucky Mick Butler Huntingdon UK.
