In the 'Dancing uphill' Book. The life of Charles Holland, two photos of him in the mid 1930s show his bike as a twin DOWN tube frame, one photo has a BSA chainset the other same frame with what looks like a Williams chainset. I know that Saxon made twin tube frames, BUT who made a twin down tube frame in the 1930s? Just curious, Norris any answers?

Is this what you have seen John? Pics of my 1936 Moorson twin tube at: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/peter_brown/Moorson/
