Badged as Briton Racing Bikes but I imagine this was the shop that resprayed the bike. The lugs, bottom bracket shell and double fork crown would all indicate that it is possibly from the 1960s. Is very light and rides well, angles are not too steep and the bottom bracket is not too high either.

...that would've been me. Only had this a little while but it's a tad too small, nice lug work and all that!

Rear dropouts

Submitted by lomax71 on 01/25/2010.

They've been 'shortened'. I've seen this a few times; is it to save weight? Surely that would be negligible! Also, the seat stay & chain stay bridges have been scalloped to allow closer clearances; this modification could've been done when the dropouts were cut. I'm thinking about a respray in the summer, I'm also rebuilding the wheels too at some point.
