Maker of handle bars, stems, brakes
and sundries! |

"GB stands
for Gerry Burgess. He was a talented rider in the 30's. He began component manufacture just post war with brakes and
stems although the early
stuff was not up to Continental standards. I am told that he later went into partnership with
(possibly?) Altenburger but did not survive into the 80's.
