Lovely bike, John has got a similar bike in his shop but that's a Raleigh 531 frame with a close ratio 3 speed SA Hub with the equivalent of 1 tooth above and 1 below the rear sprocket gearingI remember the Olympic Tommy Godwin, used to go into his Birmingham shop occasionally.
I'm probably not old enough to properly qualify for this thread, but on behalf of my 90 year old dad I still have his bike from the 50's, a Sun Wasp I think it is. Reynolds 531, 3 speed derailleur, butterfly nuts on the hubs, 26" steel rims, double bottle cage on the straight handlebars, with original aluminium bottles and cork stoppers.
