HELP WITH VELO ID PLEASE

[Rookie#1]

Can any of you Brit bike boffins help me out with knowing exactly what this is?? I'm told a 47 but what I can research it doesn't quite fit to be 47??

Cheers, Brendan

Dam fine ride that bike - have a 53 myself and they are quirky but very good machines.
Join the Velo club, there is a mountain of info and a great spares scheme available

I started Short Circuit on a rigid Mac Velo, bronze TT carb, on alky, John Bull Deep Grip tyres, went like a dog shot in the bum, wish I still had it !!, Just remembered, mine had Tele forks, Doughty Oleomatic ?

I have just about finished one of these. It has Dowty upside down air forks.
Yes they certainly are quirky. Velo liked to do things different ways to other brit manufacturers.

Yer the foot gear change was a revelation.

lets not forget that Velocette invented Auto lube in the 1920s - something Yamaha tried to claim in the 1960s
