Picked it up last night Australian guy said he brought it over with him when he moved here in '91. He bought it from a bike shop who'd had it sitting in the back for 20 odd years in pieces Now obviously the mudguards aren't original ones because they have brackets to make them fit. The seats been recovered quite well The shifter is Sturmey Archer but the 22" back wheel has a shimano hub Front wheel is 20" and mudguard is spaced to fit the smaller wheel Bottom bracket has a stamped number saying 1021 but thats it, no badges anywhere either. I thought it looked a bit like a fireball Any ideas what it is ?

looks like the long frame should have the 22" front wheel, must be why mine has no front brake and extended mudguard bracket
