Hobbs of Barbican
Cycling Weekly
|April 04, 2024
A London brand of brothers aimed squarely at British club folk
-
The Hobbs of Barbican brand started life around 1930 thanks to Albert and Joe Hobbs. They specialised in innovative frames, superbly made with high-quality metals. The two brothers were skilled marketers too, recognising the clubman rider as their key customer. In 1936 the 'Continental' was introduced as a top-tier model, which featured double-tapered seatstays and straight tapered chainstays, making for a light, rigid back end.
