i fund this bike in a trash pile right next to where i live, dont think it ever has been ridden, but it has not been stored well and the front wheel was missing, the bike is from 1948 do to the frame number.
Hamlet is a danish brand, the frame is made from english reynolds tubing whit simplex dropouts , the setup is french; simplex/mafac components, the steering is Italian .. cycling was in international sport and still is..
