Just checked quickly on Plover i dont think its that well i cant find one with those brackets on top and double stays also that rim down centre.Unless you got a link that shows one ill have another search later on when back online lol. By the way vintagebikes.co.uk could not ID it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
