Would a bike built then have raze-on shifter bosses and under the BB cable guides? Just asking. BTW, harles your Hetchins Mixte is gorgeous. George Allen exington, Ky SA
Here is a nearly identical Tour of Britain from 1965. It also has the shifter bz-ons and under-BB cable guides. The ebay one may have been painted later. My small-wheeler made in 1969 certainly was, as it has the JT 50th anniversary sticker on it (1986). Jack had that Clubman in his attic until this year. He sold it to the guy thinking it was for his own use, and then it ended up on ebay. It could be original paint from 1966. Seems like I saw one like that there in 1982 in the showroom, but I don't seem to have a picture of it if so.
