Hetchins

£ 1,895

The Hetchins name is probably the best known in the history of British classic lightweights, even non-aficionados are able to quote the name and tell you about the fancy lugs and curly stays. The company was started by Hyman Hetchin in the early 1930s in the East End of London. Hetchens name became synonymous with extremely elaborative lug work and of course the curly rear ends which made the frame unmissable even from a distance. It would be superfluous for us to provide pages of information on Hetchins as the marque has one of the best websites imaginable for Classic Racing bikes, www.hetchins.org. Allow plenty of time!

Showing lovely patina, this example is in fantastic original condition where it still retains its original paint and decals. With no cracks or dents to the frame and all the componentry in excellent working order, this highly collectible and L’Erocia ready example needs nothing.
