Bought Another RUDGE...but from 1956...

-
The oil filler cap is METAL...unlike the plastic on all of my Raleigh's and 1968 Rudge...

Very good find!

Thank you for posting.

Coming right along most nicely.

You might wish to keep an eye out for a Shuresta propstand for it.

I noticed those stands in a few of the Rudge Catalogs I had found from the 50's. The one on there now is the same stand as the Raleigh's I have.
 
I just bought this tonight for extra parts. It's a coaster brake model (with a dried out Brooks saddle under the saddle cover) and a bent fork. Basket is probably worth more, lol!

The pedals on the blue Rudge Sports I just bought match the ones from my 1956 Sports (as well as the same chain guard lettering). However, since this has a BENDIX coaster brake hub, I can't date it.
Would I be correct in ASSUMING it's from the same time period...mid 50's...?
