| Feb 1, 2019 at 13:12 | comment | added | ojs | @DanielRHicks could you show me an example of that design instead of visible cup from 1900s? To me the complex lugs, curved stay bridges and cast fork crown look like artisanal retro high end bike from 2000s. The only feature on the frame that suggests older design is the oil port. The parts almost certainly from 80s, though. | |
| Feb 1, 2019 at 13:04 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | (And the wheels are definitely old style.) | |
| Feb 1, 2019 at 13:03 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | It's a decent quality frame, almost certainly steel. The headset lugs are quite distinctive and might point toward a brand. Most of the features suggest the 80s. I note in particular the apparent oil port on the bottom bracket, a feature not seen in recent years. @ojs - Looks like a bog-standard old-style headset to me, the only thing "odd" being that the fork crown seems a hair more "modern" than I'd expect. | |

Then you'll be able to edit your own posts without needing to wait for us to approve the change. (By the way, don't leave important information in the comment for the edit log -- nobody will ever read that. I edited your comment about why you think the bike is from the 1980s into the question.) | |

I have added 2 more photos. I purchased it from an estate and the family said it had been in storage for about 20 years. That was a couple of years ago so I was thinking it was possibly from the 80’s.

| Feb 1, 2019 at 8:16 | comment | added | ojs | Any reason why this might be 80s in particular? Check out the headset: the integrated bearings didn't really exist before 2000s. Do you think someone worked with filler and paint to make normal headset look like integrated? | |
| Feb 1, 2019 at 8:03 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | 1857 is likely the serial number, so don't fixate on that too much. I'm guessing an 80's bike, looks to be built in Reynolds steel. The paint looks far too modern, so I think its been repainted. Can you ask where/whoever you got it from for more info ? | |
