i just bought a 30 year old bike in london and was hoping to find a bit more out about it. it's in good condition with most of the original stickers and transfers.
it's a youngs frame tourer style, with reynolds 531 frame tubing. the wheels are rigida 27" by 1.25". the panier is by the tornado brazing company, and the pedals and crank are silstar.
what i was hoping was to find was how i could find out roughly how old it was, to within say five years, and a bit more about youngs. i'm assuming the frame is by youngs, though that may be the company that sold it.
