    Hi there, interested in tracking down the origins – if possible – of my old steel frame, acquired for and currently built up as a single speed. Purchased of fleabay some time back in a stripped down state. It’s decidedly retro looking, with lugs, and fairly hefty to boot. Frame no. is MOG38429 – Google is offering very little so I wondered if a forum user could shed some light?

    looks like early 1980’s frame
    looks like early 1980’s frame could have been with the name Sunn or Raleigh (all out of same factory) nothing special would have been around £85 t £100 for the bike back then.

    this is a older picture, but shows the lines better around the lugs….second look I doubt its a Townsend, but very similar era

    looks very similar to this http://jasontimothyjones.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=338which is a Townsend, luggs are a bit different but the style looks like most 80s mass production bikes. The long reach brakes makes me think it was originally sold as a “Tourer” rather than a “racer”….but I could be way out on that….just guesses
