Hi there
Found this bike which I am thinking of restoring but would like to find out what it is
My first thoughts are that its either a Medallist or Grand Tour model
The Hosteller with Pro Lugs is a Grand Tour I think
Frame no. 120229 on BB
Started the strip (Is the paint good enough to keep) or sympathetic repaint with which headbadge?
23 inch centre to top seat post and 26.6mm dia (Reynolds 531? possibly not)
Bought by previous owner in 65 and was second hand then; he swapped over the steel chainring (don't know if originally 10 speed
Freewheel Suntour Perfect 5 speed; Brakes are 1960s weinmann 999 single spring centre pull which I have never seen before
Other stuff has been swapped from OME
Thanks for the comments in advance
1960s Viking Model???
