I like a mystery to unravel and this appears to be one. I will talk to the seller of the Duclos Lassale to see if they know anything about either Mill Cycles or who the frame builder was. l'm not holding my breath on a result though .

 

[woodbutcher]

Found Mill Cycles here in France so thats a start :
Mill'Cycles
56 rue b 51100 - Reims

Looks very MBK with those seat stays sort of narrowing and pointing into the seat cluster.

Number is 1985 so a bit after my racing / cycling time, I had a job by then so bikes had been overtaken by the need to have a job to pay for rent / food / exams! Certainly one for the taller rider lol

Bidding ended at £222.77. I am assuming the seller is pleasantly surprised

Good morning,

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-F-WILS...242456?hash=item5b61e24418:g:mh8AAOSw4cRdl6yu

Quite an unusual frame for sale at £200 in Sheffield, possibly more interesting than likely to want to buy though. :-)

Am unused J Wilson in 501 (yes 501) with track ends that have a gear hanger.

Bye

Ian

Not my usual thing, but for £20 might it be worthwhile?

Looks fairly presentable, but it's a real old-school 28" rod-braked Roadster frame by the looks of it, so you'd probably need another donor bike to use for the mechanical parts to build it up. Lots of small parts would need sourcing, which could be time-consuming. Much more involved than cobbling together something based on 27" or 700c wheels!
