Rotrax frames
Started by Freddy Prince shortly after WW II, and named for the bikes used for both road and track, the business soon offered a variety of frames. Of course it is the frames with the decorative flourishes that grab our attention! Business was good, with a number of people making frames in their shop and selling them through a number of agents. Sales in 1951 were over 2500, but the market dropped when rationing ended. The name Rotrax was transferred to Witcomb Cycles in the late 50's, but did come back to Mike Compton, the shop foreman from earlier days of Rotrax, in the 60's.
