A bike badged as Dave Wilson, with what looks like Carlton style lugs.

Lovely colour with chromed bits. Funny how the colour of the forks doesn't match the frame !

Yes hadn’t noticed that, they seem a similar colour to the mudguards.

Could be a trick of the light? Photographed in a mixture of light and shade.

Brown and cream. That Mercian must be from the 70s.

yep, Carlton Capella Lugs. Only ever seen one frame built with Capella lugs that wasn't a Carlton and that was an 80's track frame....built with stuff sold off when Carlton closed it's factory.

Yes, in the third pic the forks look very much more like the colour of the frame.

If anyone is in need a good cleaning project there will be a very nice original BSA Star Rider coming up for auction on Saturday 11th May at Wessex Auction Rooms Chippenham. It can be found on the Saleroom dot com.
It wont be in the catalogue yet but will be early next week.
If you bid factor in about a 1/5 th on top for commission .
It's a shame as I have far too many projects !

An update ! The catalogue is now online . Starting on lot number 666 there are 2 classic Raleigh gents cycles as well . A nice green one and a black one. I think the estimates were £30 -£40. The BSA is £10-£20 . There is also a ladies cycle and a BMX.

I have just been through the brochure for their auction on the 11th May and can't see any bikes at all, are you sure of either the auction house or indeed the date?

It was there this morning ! My imagination isn't that vivid to have conjured up those bikes and prices but I will check again .
