The eBay / CL bike arrived.
Much nicer than I thought.

It has a Sturmey Archer fore brake .
Entire bike looks like it was barely used.

Good God, that's nice. It looks like someone just shelved it. Really, really awesome find. Check the hub date codes. They look original to me though.

Didn't see a date code but as you see I didn't clean the hub good yet.
BTW
This is the bike that ended up on CL for $250.00.

That's stealing it.

And the same bike that had a $999.00 starting bid plus a reserve. Great buy on an awesome lightweight! Congrats!

That looks like a relatively early AW from the stamping and the nut. They did some without date codes, which would be fine for this bike: right around WWII.
