Well since acquiring the frame 4 years ago I have finally finished sourcing components and re-assemble the Armstrong Consort ( just waiting for the chain to arrive).
Please see before and after photographs. I have used original seat and stem and sources all other bits using an original sales specification sheet.
Quite please with end result. It’s quite light also so should be a nice ride, hopefully 🤞🏻

Well done on the restoration project, looks very good.

Oh forgot picture of rear cyclo benelux gears
One of my early bikes originally had Benelux gears. It was an old bike even then, but a good'un.

Seem to remember that they were spring loaded to the big sprocket. The opposite to modern rd's. Found it difficult to make it work properly. Replaced with the fashionable at the time, Simplex.
