Cognoscenti
Six-Day Track
Tottenham, 1951


The Cognoscenti was introduced as part of the Latin Series in 1950, but it was not popular; only 25 were built and only a handful are known to have survived.

This 22" vibrant Cognoscenti is a single fixed-gear track bike and features a fluted seat tube (hence, Six-Day Model) with Six-Day seat tube transfer.

The color scheme is black with chrome ends & headlugs.

The components consist of Chater Lea chainset, headclip & bb, Webb pedals, Bailey chrome track bars on chrome Cinelli stem, Fiamme sprint rims on Resilion large flange hubs, Brooks B17 Sprinter saddle on Reynolds alloy seatpin.
