Yessirree me too. This Morris is nice and would probably restore beautifully. I think I'd replate and polish, but leave the paint alone, primarily because the H.R. Morris looks handpainted to me. Why am I talking about this? It's too big and outta my moneytary league anyway given I just put a down payment on a Dave Bohm tourer. Oh well, it's fun. Wish there was some way we could put a date on these. My HR (HM410) is about 60 frames beyond this one. No fancy lugs, long point Prugnats, full-wrap seat stays, fully-sloping fork crown, 72.5 parallel, tighter wheelbase, built for 27". I'm having Bohm replicate this bike in many ways. It handles beautifully, very randoneurrish. I guestimated it at early 70's, but 60 frames in roughly 10 years? Does that seem right? Anyone have an idea of what the average output would be for an independent British builder in the 60's? When (and why) did fully-sloping fork crowns become popular?
