Lightweights UK
Devoted to classic UK and Italian lightweights |
|
| Introduction Through this site we would like to share our enthusiasm for, and knowledge of, classic lightweight cycles, particularly those built in Britain and Italy. Contributions from other lightweight enthusiasts are welcome, including images of machines or components of particular interest. We are interested in collecting information on UK builders of classic frames, loosely described as frames which could be built to a customer's own specification. We don't have the capacity to include the larger mass-production builders of lightweights, although in a few cases we have included special examples of a builders production. Our cut-off date is around mid-1970 although we have included a few examples which have a direct historical link back to the period we cover. The Readers' Bikes section is there as a guide to owners wishing for advice on components for a period-correct restoration and ask that submissions are period correct. Peter Underwood, email: peter.underwood(at)tesco.net Please note that the webmaster is not able to give advice on restoring bikes, provide any form of valuation, or to identity 'finds'. If you are unable to find the information you need on this site please try some of the other sites listed under Links. Due to a technical problem the Google Search for the site has been temporarily removed. ![]() Frejus (UK) Team in the 1950 Brighton to Glasgow Race - Frejus was overall winning team in this event Left to right:Les Wade, Len West, Dave Bedwell and George Lander (winner of the race) Note two jerseys with button-up pockets on front, Simplex front and rear changers (Image Bernard Howerd) RECENT ADDITIONS
