It has an interesting triple chain set for those of us who might question the 'originality' of our later conversions.

Hmmmm. Do you pay extra for all that rust? (Or should that be "patina"?)

Hmmmm. Do you pay extra for all that rust? (Or should that be "patina"?) This is a genuine early Lambert and the 1973 year is probably accurate. It seems that Lambert had a short-lived tie-in with Viking and also, possibly through Viking, with Reg Harris. Either that or Lambert just used the name without permission (!?) If people haven't seen it, the pictures on the Classic Rendezvous site on the Lambert of England pages are worth a look. There is a fine Reg Harris branded Lambert there. See: www.classicrendezvous.com/British_isles/Lambert/lambert_bikes.htmAs dracco says, the example on eBay seems to be carrying more than its fair share of rust and is a very peculiar colour, but there's a lot of original bike under there as well. I think the suicide brake levers and bar end shifters are probably not original. |
