1949 Super Special |
Super Special
This 1949 SuperSpecial Six-Day is 23 1/4 inches c-to-t, and has been completely renovated by Argos of Bristol. It is fitted with the following components: Reynolds stem and Aerts bars, GB brakeset, Chater Lea chainset, Chater Lea pedals, BHC Airlite hubs with unknown sprints (Constrictor perhaps but not marked) 32/40, Brooks B17N saddle. An interesting feature is the headset which would usually have been the 'headclip' type but this one has no clip; instead it has a later 'push-in race type' headset nut. This was perhaps modified to achieve a lower handlebar position; it may have been done at the shop as this frame was a few shillings more expensive than the standard price for SuperSpecials.
