I'm still struggling to ID this Nervex Pro lugged frameI have but have noticed a wee detail that might mean something to someone. The rear brake bridge has little diamond-shaped supports where it meets the seat stays. These have smaller diamond-shaped cut-outs either side of the brake bridge.
For those who missed the first post, the rest of the frame has:
*Seat stay top eyes with a raised centre line from where the tube starts to flatten out to where it meets the seat lug *Double rear cable stop-i.e. a stop shaped to accept two cables side-by-side *A small wheel uppermost on the drive side of the bottom bracket that has two grooves to accept cables side-by-side *Top tube cable stops on the right hand (drive side)-if standing behind the bike looking at the end of the top tube they're at 3 o'clock *One of the pump pegs on the underside of the top tube has a wee "eye", not fully enclosed, for holding the pump adaptor.
If this isn't enough to ID the frame, can anyone say when Nervex Pro lugs were first used? This has the look of an early 50s bike to me.
Thanks again
Bruce
