1951 Hobbs Blue Riband Road/Path Bicycle

Built on 30 March 1951, this frame was in poor shape when I acquired it. I had it refinished by Argos in the UK, choosing the colours and lug-lining to reveal the superb lug work. Special features include a Sturmey Archer FC four speed close ratio alloy body gear hub, Reynolds Highgate bars, WIlliams C1200 crankset and GB Coureur brakes.
