Classic Lightweights UK
Devoted to classic UK and Italian Lightweights
 

Introduction

Nervex Professional lug
Through this site we would like to share our enthusiasm for, and knowledge of, classic lightweight bicycles, particularly those built in Britain and Italy.   Contributions from other lightweight enthusiasts are welcome including images and details of machines or components of particular interest. 

We are interested in collecting information on UK builders of classic frames, loosely defined as frames which could be built to a customer's individual specification.  If you are a Marque Enthusiast for a British classic bike builder and that marque is not yet included please let us have your contributions.

Where it is indicated on the site that you can view larger versions of images click on the originals.  The larger images may be constrained by page dimensions but a further click will bring up the full size.
