First the Hetchins, I was told that Hetch did not put 531 transers on frames? So maybe this owner thought that he would stick one on, ONLY he got the wrong year, The frame does have an oil port on the bottom head lug, Frames looks fine to me, Equip is for a tall geezer who likes to tour along I think! Lady in background, much to short to ride this steed, she would need, (like me) a 21" or some such size. Bike has in my mind very good possibilities, No braze ons and track ends, PERFECT for the clubman to ride just about every event ,Road and track. All you need are sprints with Cyclo carriers (Plus drops and pedals of?course)?and off you go!? Re the Gillott cats.The quick release levers CAN be on the right side if you wish, in fact some of the lads in my day did that, claimed it was easier to work with on the back to?release and hold the gear clear, to release the wheel.with one hand.?
