Now for something completely different.

Now for something completely different
Found this sad looking Gundle Carrier/Trade bike at an auction recently.
Gundle is the Rolls Royce of this type of bike here in UK.
In production from 1932 - 1974 in virtually the same form.
Before, with the carrier cradle removed for transport.


And after a repaint and service, plus a new rear tyre and brake pads.



The rims have been left as is for now to check where the brakes rub and then the rest of the rims will be painted black as per the original.
This one was probably made in the 1950s, but could be earlier since it has no chrome, it is all black!
