An early morning garage session servicing the head set has revealed a stamping on the forks 22476 and some nice detailing on the fork crown that i had missed before .

Need to check what the bottom bracket shell has stamped on it now when i service that .

well getting back to bikes i finished the bottom bracket off tonight and checked the shell for any stampings and it has 193 stamped on it , so quite unsure what that means in terms of dates etc etc but i dont really care and for the record i am going down the line of 193 rd frame built

i am not sure the drop outs are fairly similar to what you see on some 60's bikes , but it rides nice and looks good so that will do

Took this for its first double figure ride this morning after doing numerous 9 mile commutes , bike went well and could have gone further but wanted to keep fairly local on first outing .

Only 29 miles but they were enjoyable ones and this bike still impress's me a LOT .

Another glorious 29 mile loop this morning with some gentle climbs thrown in for the fun of it and we managed no trouble at all

Just fitted some new tyres to a pair of more period wheels to the Lomas so I just need to fit the guards and we will be good to go .

Finally got the guards fitted,so thought best do a few shakedown miles on the rebuilt wheels and to make sure guards are rattle free
