On June 14-15 I will be in London, spending part of the 14th to visit the Tally-Ho! Corner  in North Finchley to photograph the former site of C. Bertrand's at 454 High Road. I also hope to visit with a chap who hails from there and knows a thing or two about Charlie Bertrand's shop. Any further leads about this small, but evidently famous (in small circles) high-end builder would be GREATLY appreciated, as I would love to collect the accumulated knowledge that is out there and centralize it at CR.

Also, as Mercian has told me my circa 1950 C. Bertrand spearpoint frameset is now finally at the top of the queue for its respray, I am hoping to soon add to the "before" pictures

a set of "after" shots of both the refinished frameset and a complete built-up bike.

Thanks!
