Barb frame to be restored

This Barb frame has been tentatively dated as a mid-1930's model by its owner.

It has been re-painted a few times in its earlier life, and the current owner has been trying to determine the original colour before beginning some restoration work.

With many thanks to the owner of this bicycle for providing the great photographs - and good luck with the restoration.
