This was made by the Lambert company after its financial failure, thankfully I could not afford the model with the aluminium "death fork"! That bike has been through countless incarnations mostly as a winter bike using five speed hub, horrible and unreliable, and a three speed hub with three speed block to give nine gears in the rear at a time when a six speed block was as much as you ever saw. The rear hub even had a drum brake!
