Just a quick and slightly belated update to all you Dayton of London fans out there…
Bernie’s Dayton Elite has, he reports, made it onto the road. Apparently it’s light, fast and smooth as silk. He has fitted it with some newer Weinmann 27″ alloy wheels and screw-on hub, a 5 speed block and 1960’s vintage Simplex derailleur. Not quite original but certainly in keeping with the vintage of the bike. He has re-used the original steel Williams cranks and it all works beautifully.
What’s more, it looks pretty good too…
