Ken Sprayson started working at a sheetmetal company during WW2. Displaying a talent for metalworking, he moved to Reynolds Tubing in 1950 and in 1953, was given his own experimental shop. the first job was for racer Maurice Cann's Mondial 125, shown here. He apparently said he just put tubes where they seemed to logically belong. It looks like a fairly conventional design, though the Earles fork looks a bit odd. Today the bike can seen at the Sammy Miller museum. More on Ken Sprayson here.
