General Information

Painted on top tube:

A BURNET

MIDDX R.C.

 

Indicating this to be the Middlesex Road Club. A quick internet search yields an interesting result: in 1947, a cyclist named A Burnet clocked a club record for 24 hours TT.

Some ham-fisted previous owner attempted to hand paint over the head badge so I had to recreate a waterslide decal from scratch.
