Top of the line Mal Rees frame set of the day built by Bill Hurlow. A great candidate for resto
The BB has WBH stamped above the serial # which I will add a picture of shortly
The frameset has s couple of small dents, I dont know the year, WBH started building the Ramales, the lugs he designed himself for Mal Rees in 1954 and he built into the 1960s I believe. He was already a start builder in that day and was hired specifically fr the high end model/s
Fun Fact: Ramales is an anagram of Mal Rees
Serial number is 5506 which of course may be a clue to its date 55'?
Measurements are 57.5mm center to center for the seat and 58.5cm top tube. Rear Spacing is 110mm
This is the standard path racer of the day, rear facing track dropouts with eyelets front and rear
The paint is ok, it has some blue touchups of another shade thats not too horrible and better than rust spots. Has an oiler 2ba nipple o the BB Shell and Bills fancy lugs
There is a tiny dent in the top tube non-drive side, miniscule and not structural, a coupl of even smaller minisculer dings on the opposite side and then there is a little (3 ding) on the non drive side chainstay right above the brake bridge(that looks like something was pressed up against it. Those dings were not disclosed to me when I purchased it (theyre so small I dont think it was intentional)
No evidence of crash or anything major and I dont know if the paint is original
I bught this a decae ago from a knowledgeable britishman
Also not pictured yet but I added an NOS chrome slotted seat binder bolt/nut
