Identifying Freddie Grub Frame

[austenbarber]

Hi guys,

I am hoping to restore my Dad's old Freddie Grubb. I am trying to work out the model of the bike and the date it was built but I'm having some trouble since nearly everything (including colour) but the frameset have been changed. The badge suggests it's post '64 but that's about as far as I've got. Any help would be immensely appreciated and any details re. Colour and parts to use would be great too.

Can't help from my own knowledge, but lots of info and catalogues to look at...

Cant help I'm afraid but please get rid of that bar tape .

Looks like an Omas big sliding headset, if so worth quite a bit lol

The markings on the headset would suggest so

I was going to say that it may be a Tourmalet as there are no pump pegs or lamp bosses fitted, but the fork crowns don't look right.

There were originally lamp bosses and pump begs, but they were removed
