Not really, the listing said some form of accles and pollock, but there's no stamps, decals etc. I couldn't belive my eyes when I stuck it on the scales. I think the weight saving trick lies in the skinny top tube. It's not been extensivly drilled like with contemporary Ken Bird, Shorter...

added some more photos, I was out and that was the only one I had to hand

Hi all, I recently purchased a 70s tt frame, something I've always wanted... think Alf Engers style. On arrival I noticed what looked like a crack around the seat lug where the stays connect. I took it to a local frame builder who couldn't tell whether it was the paint or the steel itself. When...

No, from what I can see it's 116 and 119 for English and Italian respectively, the bb was 6200 for the Arabesque. I've seen a few groupsets for sale with the 116mm bb. Seems strange. Might be something off with the crankset. As I mentioned the bolt doesn't sit central in the crank. I can't even...

Yes, from what I can see the English bb was 116 and Italian was 119.

Hi, I am currently building up an Italian framed Harry Hall bike. I have been after a crankset that had enough info to go off that I could easily select a bb/ crank combo. I picked a 600 Arabesque crank. Now from my research I have found that Shimano did a 119mm bb in JIS for italian bottom...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice re a set if forks I have from an Italian made Harry Hall frame. The bike came with a British thread headset, which I'm assume changed the thread pitch slightly. Unfortunately I replaced with another British thread ally headset which got stuck for some reason. I...

Sorry should have mentioned, to fit 700c wheels

Hi, I'm looking for a decent frame from the 70s/ early 80s in the North West. Had some bad luck with frames off ebay so looking for a good honest road bike frame for around £120, ideally 531.

Hi all, is this hole near the rear dropout something to be concerned about? The frame is new to me. Can it be filled or repaired by brazing?

So.... turns out someone put a JIS headset on an ISO headtube! That would explain it!!!!

I think that's entirely possible! I need some better calipers to measure the crown race, seems to be 27mm, but they are horrible plasticy calipers

Hi all, I am in the process of building a vintage road bike from the frame up. I just received this from eBay today. I strongly suspect it's a Paramount of Mansfield frame that's been repainted at some point. Campy dropouts, wrap over seat stays, drilled bb and the like. It's also nice and light...
