Project Cecil Walker





Great old frame and wheelset I picked up through the shop.
Cliff dropped in this old Cecil Walker path racer frame some time ago and I was always on the lookout for some parts to suit. Found this great set of Fiamme rims laced to a set of red Airlite hubs from Steve in Yarra Junction. 36 hole front, 40 hole rear, tied and soldered about 40 years ago. As you can see in the pics they have seen plenty of glue in their lifetime.
The frame has some pretty cool lugs and fork crown to suit. No resto on this one, more of a rat bike I think.
