Hi All,
I have my Fathers early Lambert. It has a lugged frame. Early on he had the Alum fork replaced with a chrome steel fork. At some point he painted the frame with an ugly red rattle can.
I have completely disassembled the bike and plan on parting it out.
He bought it in the early 1970's when I (and he) were racing, I was a junior. I rode a Gitane until I crashed it, then I bought a Teledyne Titan (an early titanium frame). I still own both!

It would be great to see some photos of the bike and parts. The best way is to put them on to an online photo repository - like Flickr - and provide a link, since we long ago used up our free stock of posting images on the forum. There are instructions somewhere in the forum about how to link photos, if you run into problems.

Welcome to the club........! I use Flikr for this and took me an age to learn it so ended up enlisting my daughter to show me, lots of eye rolling and tuting but I got there. Did my own Lambert restoration recently, they are “different” to many other bikes with their sealed bearings and own branded components but once rebuilt a lovely bike. Had mine refinished at Bob Jackson’s and bought the decals from Velocals although have seen them recently in the UK cheaper. The whole rebuild cost me under £400 and a lot of work but thats the fun part for me, well that and riding them. Enjoy.......! flic.kr/p/HSVntfPS: still got the original MK1 death fork on this one.........life on the edge is a dangerous place to be :-)
