1928 Chater Lea Fittings Time Trial Machine

 

“Price is not the most important consideration, but service is. Chater-Lea fittings, with their superior design and workmanship, give you longer life and easier running. This is where you get the best value.”

– 1927 Chater Léa catalogue extract

Chater Lea was the supplier of choice for serious cyclists who knew what they wanted. The following testimonial sums it up: “Last August I had supplied to me a machine (racing single) built with your fittings to my order from your list. Since that time I have ridden it under all conditions and over all kinds of roads, and I have much pleasure in saying that I have found your components all that your advertisements claim them to be; for sweetness of running and neatness of appearance I have never yet found its equal.”

This machine was built by a small maker using top quality parts for a clubman who was a time trailer. It has a Chater Lea narrow diameter tube set, Chater Lea skewer quick release hubs, filled back lugs, Williams chainset and Constrictor brake. It was sympathetically restored with a satin finish and has been mechanically overhauled. This is a fast bike and it’s ready to ride.
