..the memory still works fairly well., so I'ved found the maclean catalogue I mentioned earlier. The company's range was very small at that time..the Apollo isn't mentioned. There was the "Club" - with a choice of Reynolds 531 or "A&PKromo", then the Track or Path - a very elegant frame..and then "..the Connoisseur's Choice" - The Eclipse. This model could be either a stock one or made to measure. Tubing was 531 or "Chrome-Molybdenum" (no brand specified) "....best Continental lugs, maximum cut-away consistent with safety, nicely filed and finished ( a very important point to look for)"
The drop-outs are specified as either Benelux or Simplex with integral gear hanger. Seatr-stay tops are described as ".. with fluted ends wrapped round lugs"
The catalogue has faded a little over the years but it is still possible to make out the same model fork crown as Peter's and lugs wth a short spearpoint and windows. The price was £16.0s0p..quite pricey for those days
Referring to my mention of the choice of gauges of 531 in my original contri. I'd just like to mention the Pat Skeates full early 50s bike that was on Ebay about 8 weeks or so ago. I had to stop bidding as i was due to leave for France..and think that the winner was from the States, possibly on this LIst. Skeates always built very light frames, selecting his tubes with lightness in mind. If the buyer is on the list and is contemplating renovating the frame..I have a contact for full sets of transfers. Skeates was not a prolific builder..his machines were highly rated..and so transfers can be difficult to find.
