So he has decided to sell a couple of his bikes. The first is a Carpenter that he bought from new on 6th April 1955. The details from the receipt are as follows:
"One 22 1/2" Super club frame no. 4858 to specification 73 deg x 71 deg, oval to round forks, Reynolds '531' butted tubes throughout. 41" wheelbase, 10 3/4 bottom bracket with 27" wheels. Brazed gears and brake eyes, etc. Finished in bright red enamel, lugs picked in gold."
Original price £12.10.0
The frame itself is sound but is in need of a repaint... and not all the equipment is of the right period as Dad changed bits over the years.
I will confirm the price once we've heard back from the marque specialist but please contact me if you would like to see it or have pictures sent to you.
