Does anyone know what these things are for on the dropouts of this old Claud Butler? Owner says the bikes from the 1940s and those funny pokey bits on the dropouts have had us puzzled all day – at Liverpool, England

Take a look at this stunning build from Bob Jackson Cycles with #Reynolds853! This bike is the first to roll out since the company relaunched, and this beauty will spend its days traveling through the Adelaide hills! #reynoldstubing #steelisreal #handmade #Cycling #custommade

This is racer Jacques Suire lining up in a regional qualifying event for French sprint championships in the late ’70s. He took first place, and ultimately fifth in the national event. I’m mid-restoration of one of the original team frames – pics soon. #vintagebicycle #fixedgear

Bertrand with its original forks & the nails all done-up in DuPont Imron fire-engine red. That's the colour I chose when I sat down & got measured for a custom-built Bertrand GB3000 in spring 1988. Columbus SLX, Campy Chorus, Cinelli incl. bottom bracket<-#TheBest #VintageSteel

We are best known for SU and Amal carbs, but we also manufacture Zenith carbs, too.

Service history by marker pen. Love it. Apparently the previous owner in the US recorded brake servicing on the inside of the hubcaps too: ebay.co.uk/itm/143677804006 #classiccars
