| Frame |
F W Evans 'Touring' frame, 1964, built with
Reynolds 531 DB tubing. It is a 25 inch frame and the serial
number on the B/B appears to be WI 02 or V V I 02. It may
also be a 1 instead of an I...(W1 or V V 1)

details |
Bidons are
TDF
anniversary reproductions. Milremo mudguards. I believe this
bike
was built in 1960's for a California physician. (Note the lamp bracket
on the L fork). It is the companion of the Evans tandem you have
already on your site. I bought it as a frame/fork. It is a
work
in progress: I've tried to find roughly contemporary parts (saddle,
stem, bars, cranks, brakes, shifter) and since it has Campy drop-outs I
used what might have appealed to a US owner.. a Campagnolo Gran
Tourissmo derallieur.(Perhaps an Allvit with a mounting adaptor would
be a better shifting choice) I have a set of 27" Weyless wheels/arc en
ciel rims that are closer to the timeline and would have been a
reasonable upgrade for a USowner. They are not shown in these earlier
photos.
