FS Classic Hetchins 61 cm nice $850
I've had this one in my stable since I think 2010, it's a very nice Hetchins bike made at the original shop on Seven Sisters Road Tottenham suburb of London according to the headbadge. The shop moved to Southend in 1976 and Jackson took over the name in the mid 90s I believe. This is a real Jack Denny bike from about 1970-72
It is not a "curly" and it is not a super fancy detail bike although I find the lugs on this one quite attractive. It is a quick handling bike with fastback stay attachment. Fully sorted and ready to ride. Tracks straight, no damage or problems. A very respectable vintage ride !
Campagnolo brakes and gears, seatpost and headset - TA cranks 48 / 34 with Phil bottom bracket - Campy 28 spoke wheels built by me - suntour Winner 13-28 rear freewheel, Brooks titanium B-17 "gray" saddle.
Measures 61 ST Center to top and 57 CM Top tube Center to center.
I'd like to get $850 + ship at cost. I will pack carefully altho packing and shipping is the challenge these days.
If you don't want the saddle, knock $75 off. Pics here Hetchins
buy it at asking price and I'll include a very nice Hetchins jersey - worn once, size L
more pics on request. direct email if interested => mpetry912 "at" Gmail dot com

Beautiful bike. Those lugs have just the right amount of fanciness to me; without dipping into the baroqueness of the curly lugs.
