I's a BSA (British Small Arms - a company that started making handguns, then bicycles then went on to become one the biggest british motorbike manufacturers of the 50's/60's then floded into other companies, BSA bicycles was bought by Raleigh in about '69... so it;s basically a re-badged raleigh)

:shock: wow that was wordy... and i dont think they are tbh, i think theyre clinchers , i would'nt like to ride my local roads on sew-ups :shock: they wouldn't last 5 minutes 8)
