A flag holder. Thank you for that I was wondering. The pic off Billybones FLKR is the same but has the nicer grips. I did see a double chrome band in front of the left rt brake lever for the shift trigger. I need to hear back from this guy.
This one posted a couple mile for the house, looks like repaint not that familiar with this version. https://images.craigslist.org/01414_...7_1200x900.jpg |

That looks non-English, more likely Indian or the like.

My beat up roadster didn't have grips when I bought it. It was early 70s and would have had the typical black Dare grips, so I bought a pair of inexpensive Dare style grips from somebody on eBay. Now, the picture didn't show it, but when you get them they have TAIWAN emblazoned across the top. Funny how little details can bug me. I've got nothing against Taiwan, but it just didn't belong on my classic British roadster so I found somebody selling Dare style grips that he claimed to be OE on Pashley roadsters. When they came I was surprised to find they were a soft rubber. A bit floppy, but they went on easily with some dish soap. Now, I'm totally hooked on these and they're no longer available on eBay. I like them better than cork. Far better than hard plastic or leather. I found the manufacturer and they make soft and hard versions of the grip. These soft ones are just perfect. I want some for my scorcher, but I can't find anybody retailing these anywhere.

Pre-War Phillips ?

Attachment 586303 Not sure what to make of this one. Advertised as a pre-war English Phillips. The bike has been converted to a fixie (why bother) and the original 28" rims are included in the price of $300. I don't recall any British hump back frames except a few Raleigh kid's bikes in the 60's. |
I've seen butcher bikes having frames shaped like that, never figured out what it was actually for though. I guess to fit smaller riders?

It would appear that the dealers in Greece had different advertising standards... |

Just got in from a ride on the old roadster. Didn't go far. Maybe 8 miles, but after all these years I'm still amazed and excited to be on a bicycle. Amazed because it's such a simple machine. No fuel, no hydraulics, no electronics or computers. Nothing that can't be maintained and repaired with simple tools in my back yard. That 8 miles would have been a long arduous walk, but on my roadster, I did it in minutes with very little effort. Just gliding through the air. What a wonderful invention.

I don't have a clue what the year of this bike is. The chain cover I'v seen on 50's, correct me if I'm wrong. I see an oiler port on the BB. Its in real nice shape and wonder if it could have a AW hub? I know the Minneapolis liciense this style is 60's
Its listed @$145 but a guy can try to insult him with a lowball bid. https://offerup.com/item/detail/314322722/?ref=Search Attachment 586616 Attachment 586618 |
I have a montgomery-ward hawthorne that is almost identical to that, that came with a sturmey AW from '63
|
Maybe it is a trick of lighting, but the rear hub shell appears to be aluminum.

It's a Birmingham Hercules, see the oval cutouts in the lugs? Nice little ride. Bargain at $90.

Well, if it's a scenic drive with a great french cafe at the end and gas is cheap, don't let me stop you. It's a 21" frame with 26 inch wheels.
It's a cool colour and in unusually good condition. I'd buy that one in a 50 km range. |

Took the 1940s Schwinn 3-speeds out last weekend - on Saturday the 1941 New World and on Sunday the 1947 Continental. Great bikes.
