Classy looking frame from my era, just at the time clean Italian lugs took over from Nervex Pro. I'll go back in a minute and see what kit it has on it. Fletcher is a made up name I would guess.

That's the bit that i cant find any info on

Yes I saw that too - the rust on the top tube is a bit alarming

It reminds me of an old car exhaust pipe.

He was the chap played by Ronnie Barker.

Yep, on second look it's worse than I thought. Also, the forks look about 10 years younger than the frame...

"Being quick release wheels you simply move the rear wheel further in or out of the horizontal
drop outs and change gear ratio for your riding style or environment"​

Or alternatively you could put some derailleurs on it!

It is simple though, you can't deny that.

Just done a bit of a search for Fletcher and Son cycles. The only reference I can find is one from here http://www.ourmansfieldandarea.org.uk/page_id__27_path__0p2p19p62p.aspx
If this is the same Fletcher then there could be a link to a certain Alan "Pongo" Braithwaite!

Edit: albeit a tenuous one!
