First, it struck me how lucky we are to have Hilary as a reseller of vintage lightweight bicycle merchandise! I know, I know, some of the boys get upset when he buys goods and then resells them for a profit. But I do that everyday myself to feed my family, just new stuff vs used, so...
But look at this list of goodies he selling now. They are items, and very excellent & illustrative pics, of items I have never seen before and would likely have never seen at all had it now been for Hilary being in this business! Hooray!
Now; subject in hand, this Dave Davey frame;? Very interesting. What appear at first cursory glance to be Nervex Pro lugs are not that at all. Maybe Norris recognizes this variation of style with those little swallow tail points? Very unusual and unknown to me at least... What about those vertical dropouts? What are those? In any case, except for the extremely sloppy (redone by an amateur?) lug lining, this is a really neatly done and special frame set...
Thanks Hilary!

The frame selection is very international this week - stars for me being the 1975 Moser Special which if it had a two or three cm longer top tube I would kept for myself - this is not a Francesco Moser built built frame but a Cicli Moser - there is some info in the archives on this company, a real cracker of a Dave Davey built in the Wally Green workshop with many typical Wally Green details such as the round forks and faux twin-plate crown, an early Peugeot PX10 or is it a late PLX10? And a rather splendid Belgian Paganini frame probably built in Italy... And there's a really nice early Argos frame with clearances for mudgards made here in Bristol.?
? Amongst the smaller items several stand out - the 60s Brooks Pro saddle, the NOS Sturmey wingnuts, the very rare BSA rear derailleur from c1951, a couple of pairs of really nice 30s bars and a swan neck stem. The Duegi touring shoes are gorgeous and just take a look at the Raleigh bike price card from 50s - that is really rather special. And remembering the discussion on the list about obscure Campag parts I have discovered a tool from the Campy 50th Anniversary groupset which I suppose cannot be really that rare as I presume it was supplied with the groupset, a pin tool I think for the special dustcaps. Finally don't forget Graham Watson's classic book documenting the European Classics in pics and words.? ?
