London Builders at Home - 1950
Peter
Underwood
In 1950, seventeen London lightwight bicycle
builders
combined together to form a chain of cycle exhibitions across the city.
The consortium took out adverts and had editorial in Cycling of
9 November 1950. The 'At Homes' ran from 8 - 18 November (excluding
Sundays) and they were open from 10am - 8pm each day. The two-page
article had details from each of
the
participants and this gives a good insight into what
manufacturers would be building for the new 1951 season. It
also gives
their addresses.
