Buckley Brothers of Camberwell and Sydenham. Started 1919 finished sometime in the 1950's. Pioneers of round taper chainstays on tandems, innovative tandem builders and exceptional tricycle makers. Real top quality maker. Real lightweights their first racer in 1919 weighed 17.5lbs. in the days of steel components. They exhibited a bike at the Lightweight show which weighed 13lbs. this became their famous model "C" a lot of the thirties cracks rode Buckleys especially the "Rodney" lads.

Best wishes and be lucky. Michael Butler Huntingdon UK.
