I started collecting vintage British 3 speed Roadsters this year and yesterday picked up my 11th and probably best find of the year, a 1965 Rudge Sport, in the harder to find 23” frame and very nice Dunlop stainless steel rims. All I’ve done is put tires and tubes on and my favorite Brooks B72 saddle with my lock and cable bag bearing my 1974 LAW (League of American Wheelmen) Century Run patch, the year I got serious with bikes and still going strong at 67!
What you see is all original. Paint is exceptional for its age with exception of chain guard and flaky decals. I’ve never seen a chrome steel Oxford frame pump, but there it is!
This year has been pretty sucky for us all, me included, but looking for, restoring and riding these great old British bikes has kept me reasonably sane in these insane times.
