Thanks for your help.. what parts will bend so I can pay extra attention? The shifter levers. If you compare them with later versions levers you will see they are thinner.
Finally wrapped the bars set up the derailure. Shifts smooth...... now it looks like I need cable sheathing and tires that is it ... I’m almost done. Going to put it on the shelf for a bit do some other things for now
What a beautiful bike. There was a bike store in Westwood California in the mid 1970's. Always 3 or 4 Hetchins in the window. Spent a lot of time staring. They were like jewelry. What are your plans for tires?
That would be Harding's Westwood Cyclery on Westwood Boulevard - just a few blocks south of the UCLA campus.
In addition to Hetchins the shop was an agent for Raleigh, Carlton & Peugeot. They also had a house brand Harding badge, cycles produced for them by Holdsworthy.
Charlie Harding closed the shop about 1990-91 and moved back home to Ireland for his retirement.
Purchased me first road machine there in 1965 - a white Peugeot model U08.
The loft above the cash register was a wonderful repository for many first quality vintage framesets and fittings.
