Hi Peter,
Thanks for delving into those old catalogues, I guess that about nails it to 63-65. My suspition was justified, shall stick to a cyclo type 'B' if I can find the right one unless any other recomendations for a 59 freewheel? back wheel was the only non-original part on the bike hence the guess work.
Thanks again, much appreciated!
