Dating nervex lugs

---

Wed Apr 14, 1: Those are the early type Nervex Pro lugs, I believe.

The cycling hub for owners, riders and enthusiasts

What is unusual is the sloping fork crown - the lugs suggest that the frame is early to mid 50s whereas a sloping fork crown is more typical of a later period. Perhaps the forks are not original. There is loads of info on Holdsworth cycles here: Sat Apr 17, 9: On the rear stays is that a bridge for centre pull brakes?

I have a Holdsworth frame with fancy lug work, but I am sure it once had centre pulls, also mine didnt have a metal badge on the headtube. Is there a greace nipple on the bb shell? I will try and post uo some pictures tommorow.

John Jones’s early Major Nichols, Nervex Legere mod. 48 lugs. Frame 10573

It sounds like the next step is to take off some paint and see what's underneath. I'll also take some measurements around head tube for head badge dimensions. Bates frame with Campag ends and full group set its the oldest Australian Bike I've seen that had them from new , Im sure there are others but its uncommon. I doubt the owner was racing people with lower quality kit so the bikes are out there but he was in the pro ranks, how far pre '59 Campag ends go on Oz bikes I dunno.

Richard, I have one confirmed Aust.

No price given for the forkends but these were probably only sold to frame builders. If you were a top rider the LBS may have provided you with a frame, like the Rob Special built by George Robinson, founder and patron of Blackburn ACC, for Blackburn rider Malcolm Powell, who was a top cyclist at state and national level in the late 50s and early 60s. Powell's bike featured both Nervex lugs and Campagnolo forkends and is also shown in David Rapley's book Years of Steel. When I started racing in Melbourne in Campagnolo gears, or anything Campagnolo, was The Thing to have but the cost precluded it from most riders.

At that time many club riders were still using steel cranks, Simplex or Benelux gears, and wing nuts. But the Olympics had shown Australians what the Europeans had.

The dropouts preceded the catalogue. The first version came out in , with the 4mm screws, and different derailleur stop position. I think the with small hole for Sport derailleur gear Spring, and 'normal' stop position, came out late , or By normal, I mean the position that most other makers adopted as the industry standard.

Shimano, Zeus, Agrati, Suntour, etc Not sure when they first appeared in Australian built frames, but early 50's Bianchis and Legnano's were sold here, by people like Borsari in Carlton, with ends. Actual hand built road frames, not semi racers. You could buy a braze on campag hanger, a catalogue item.

Here's my Nervex-lugged frame, that I bought about 8 years ago. I'm going to use it for L'Eroica in October. I've got most of the parts that I need, but still have a few questions. I'd like to date the frame. It came as a 10 speed, with corroded hubs and corroded seatpin and clamp with torn vinyl seat, all of which I ditched.

There are no bidon mounts. What year approximately did bidon mounts start being brazed on? Temporarily, I'm thinking of using a reasonably old mount and shaping something that can both take a couple of small bolts and be held on with a couple of radiator clamps or cable ties.
