Subject: [CR]Hetchins fore sale

Dearest list, On offer is a truly exceptional Hetchins Experto Crede lugged track bicycle. She has been refinished to the highest possible standard in her original flamboyant purple. This work was completed 8 years ago by California master Brian Baylis. The quality is absolutely unsurpassable! Size is 54 cm seat tube with a 56 cm top tube; both measured center to center. Her serial # is H3256 which translates, when I first researched her, a 1960 build date. This fine example of English workmanship is now ready for your riding enjoyment. She is equipped as follows: Brampton steel chromed headset (installed as N.O.S.), Williams steel 165mm crankset with a 24 tooth BSA inch pitch chainring, 9 tooth T.D.C. cog, “The Coventry” block chain, T.D.C. steel cottered bottom bracket, Harden alloy hubed wheels with Rigida “Alu” clincher rims, 36 hole, laced cross 3 pattern with 14 gauge galvanized spokes, Huret “Luxe” wingnuts on the rear and Marcel wingnuts up front, alloy seatpost with steel upper clamp, Cinelli 11 cm. deep drop steel track stem (NOT the adjustable one in the photos) and Cinelli steel #14 handlebars (uncut, could use a rechrome) , unknown brand of vintage correct English track pedals, Christophe toe clips and Binda toe straps, and rear wheel drop out adjusters. Saddle to be provided is a Brooks B 17 “CHAMPION FLYER”. I would be very pleased to find her a special new caretaker. The asking price is quite reasonable at $1,495.00

Please refer to:

for photographs of this stunning track machine. The color, however, may appear much too "blue" in some of the photos. She IS Flamboyant purple. In the sunlight, she looks as if there are florescent lights inside of her! Shipping via UPS ground at actual cost. Payment via PayPal ( please add 1 ½ % of the sale price for using the convenience of PayPal; as we will share the cost equally), personal check, U.S. Postal Service money order, or cash. Packing is included in the sale price.

Thank you for your kind attention,
