Finally picked-up what I am told is a 1972 Lambert - the lugless, 10-speed, variety with the 'porthole' chain wheel.
For a fifty-year old bike, it still has quite a lot original, but inevitably time has taken its toll, and as there were possibly less than 200 Lamberts that stayed in England,
I would love to return to as close to how it left the ill-fated factory as I can afford to:
It's missing the following:
1. Lambert high-flange rear hub + (Lambert) freewheel + Lambert 'L' QR.
2. 'L' front wheel QR.
3. 'L' seat-tube clamp bolt (+QR)
4. 'L' crank bolt cover.
5. 'L' pedal caps
6. Rear 'Lambert' Derailleur - (Shimano Eagle 'Lambert' copy/ Huret Svelto 'Lambert' copy)
7. OE 'Lambert' leather saddle
8. 'Lambert' pump
9. One 'Lambert of England' toe-clip (I oddly have one, and the other is a Christophe)
10. 'Lambert of England' leather toe straps (I have a very-worn pair in blue).
11. One 'Lambert of England' long crank decal.
