bike shaped object.

The frame is stamped V6671 at the rear wheel hub. Can anyone put a date of manufacture on it.

This one could be from around 66/67. One point well worth checking is the markings on the reverse of the Williams chain set.

My Carlton Clubman has the same 'wraparound' seat stays and that's a 67ish frame, not sure how long that style was used for.

I have checked on the 2nd link, it dates the crank to 1965 ( ZF ) I knew it was not any later as I was at college and working by 1966.
I had bought the bike when still at skool.
Thanks for the link Spokesmann and again for the brake levers.

bit or elbow grease and a few quid and you have a very nice bike. time and money well spent me thinks

Going on holiday a week tomorrow and will take the bike with me. The bike will be well used that week.
