TOMMY GODWIN TRACK BICYCLE 22 3/4in centre bottom bracket to top of top tube
and centre to centre top tube. Probably 1960s. No mudguard eyes but drilled
fork crown. All chrome forks with chrome in very good condition. Nervex Pro
lugs. Campagnolo Pista 170mm chainset, with 52T ring. Date 3 in a circle
indicating 1983 chainset. Chainset shows no marks at all. Paintwork was
redone in black with correct original transfers at same time. Paintwork is
very useable but there are a few small scratches marks. Tommy Godwin was a
well known track cyclist who set up a bike shop in Birmingham in the late
1950s I think. Cinelli aluminium track bars with engraved crests either side
of stem - bars are perfect stem shows a few very light marks. Cinelli

ZEUS ALFA BRAKESET Excellent lightly used condition with Universal brake blocks, complete with straddle wires and levers. These are a very close imitation of the Mafac Dural Forge Racers even down to being engraved Dural Forge. Must be from 1960s or early 70s. $65
PHILLIPS LEATHER RACING SADDLE Very close in shape and dimensions to a Brooks B17. Excellent thick leather hide, very lightly used with just a few minor marks. I certainly did not know Phillips ever sold this type of saddle under their own name and I rather suspect it was made by Brooks for them. $55
