winter 11 & pathfinders 008
1957 Rudge Pathfinder (Lenton frame). A recreation of my childhood bike! A bit garish, but I was only 16 when I put the red mudguards on. The bike was stolen when I was 21, and this frame found (after a 6 year search) last Autumn ( On e-bay, but less than 5 miles away). I would have replaced the heavy bits of this bike with alloy as cash allowed, so make no apologies for the 70s alloy stem and bars, or the modern track 48T chainset working on the original Sturmey Archer 4 speed FM hub. Wheels are the original and quite rare Dunlop HP. Muguards, pump and bar tape NOS, paint by Argos ( A lovely job!), chrome (where needed) re-plated at Castle Chrome in Dudley. Weinmann brakes and levers NOS 500s.
