A big Chainring?
An excuse to post a pic of my uncle, Alan Boden, in TT action. Third in the National TT, 1968, 1970, 1974.

The Newton family owned various bike shops in the west London area. Until fairly recently a couple of members of the family still had shops in that area. One in Hanwell and the other near Fulwell.

I thought from the title of the thread you'd started a "bike kennels"

Trawling through Facebook yesterday and this popped up .
Someone suggested it could be a Torpedo of London frame very similar apart from the 3 digit frame number is on the opposite rear drop out

Just a quick update this now resides in my shed as there is no room in the garage 
Got no idea what i am going to do with it at the moment
I might just get it rideable as is and it can be one of my winter steeds and if i get time i can slowly remove / tidy up the dark blue paint to see what i find underneath .
Or it might get blasted and treated to a powder coat then built up
Or it might just be sold as a project
so who knows

Had some pictures sent to me today of a W P Newton which has the same stay caps and also has a 3 digit frame number in the same location , so i feel quite happy that this is a W P Newton
