After a few months searching I was lucky enough to buy a roadworthy Freddie Grubb bike on eBay for £175 - I was intrigued by Freddie as we share the same surname and Freddie won two Olympic medals, and competed in the Giro in 1914. It is fitted with original Italian Ormega pedals and Suntour VGT Luxe gears and levers, Silstar cranks. The seller thinks it's late 60s maybe early 70s. Serial number is 23800 for frame. It's a really nice ride - very smooth and quite quick too.

I've found some info online about FG bikes and it looks as if the seller is about right re age of bike. Does anyone know if / how I can pin down the year of build from serial number ?
