- Simon Smythe

This elegant 1930s track bike with its Constrictor wooden rims, Major Taylor adjustable stem and Chater-Lea inch-pitch chainset was made by one of London’s most highly regarded marques.

Henry Carpenter set up his bike business at 43 Penton Street, Islington, in the early 1920s selling ‘sprint’ wheels and Duralumin hubs.
