Greetings all, I recently picked up a "Londoner" bike and was wondering if anyone had any informaton on this brand. Here's the details....Reynolds 531c decal on frame (plain 531 decal on forks). Single "Londoner" decal on down-tube and round (yellow & red) decal on seat-tube "Supplied by the London Bicycle Co." Long-point lugs with diamond-shaped cutouts, single eyelets on dropouts, Shimano SE horizontal rear dropiuts w/derailleur hanger. Sloping fork crown and lamp braze-on on right fork blade. Under BB cable guides. 26.8 seatpost. Currently equipped with 27" wheels and Sturmey Archer AW rear hub (dated 1980). My guess would put it somewhere in the 80's since the Reynolds decals are the same as the decals on my '82 Trek. I'm also guessing it might be a "house brand" for a shop - possibly in England??? Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance, Byron Morton Nashville, TN
