Angel,
Jim's Alex Singer has round blades. You can see them in the CR gallery, second photo on the page featuring that bike.

Does the use of round fork blades fall in the category of "rarely used"? Or, are they more common than that? I gather from Greg's note that Hetchins is known for them. Are there other builders that are regularly identified with round forks?
I know dave moulton used them on his Criterium model.

Hi list members. The recent couple of obscure builder information requests reminded me that I have an English frame that I know nothing about. Nor have I been able to discover anything about it on the web. It's a H.R. Daycock frame. The headstock transfer states an address of "Roman Road London E 2". It's built with Nervex pro lugs, and Campy long eyeletted dropouts {the fairly early ones with the extra little hole on the derailleur side}. The number 1312 is faintly stamped on the B.B. shell. It appears to be a nicely built; quite conventional , road frame , The only real departure from normal form is that it uses round fork blades like a Hetchins . I believe it dates from the late 1950's to early 1960's. Can anyone provide any information ?
Thanks! Greg Lone Langley B.C. Canada _______________________________________________
