Love that Brooks saddle! Great lugs and fork ends. I wonder if the badges were decals that flaked off.or were metal tags.
 
badge is a decal, I found one company that makes them but it's like pulling teeth to get them to give me a price and a picture. The brooks saddle I think makes the bike. The saddle that the bike shop had on it was new and they just so happened to have another brooks saddle sitting close by and I offered to trade up and they were all about it. It was a def a fair deal between the bike shop and I. They were happy and I was too. I ordered new bar tape, and white walls for it. I'll prob put some new cables on it as well. I'll have to shoot a video of the way the front derailleur works cause it's different.
 
Very nice! Classic British touring machine. Reminds me of this vintage promo film. It may have been posted before.

I'm getting the feeling that you're going to need twice the shipping capacity when you transfer back to the states than when you left.
 
LOL, yeah I might need to work on some weight. Although the way it works is if someone else on the boat is under I can use the weight they didn't use. So I might not be over if you look at it that way.
 
Nice find Patrick. About what year is the bike? What are the specific components--brakes, crank, rims, drivetrain? V/r Shawn
