Sold 50 humpback birmingham bicycle

[Notagamerguy]

I don't know much about this bike and was unable to find out what company it was sold under.

 

[Big Moe]

I dig it. Love how the bike just flows.

I believe this is a Robin Hood bicycle or some Raliegh sub brand.

 

[Notagamerguy]

Yeah

I believe this is a Robin Hood bicycle or some Raliegh sub brand.

Definitely, it was one of those many english brands, sadly i cant find any references online

 

[Rusty McNickel]

Has same Chainring as some robin hoods

 

[Rusty McNickel]

Something tells me it could be a Bob Maxwell, the cheap Bob Jackson copy.

I've got a Robin Hood and a Hercules/Hawthorne with similar frames, but it's not the same as either of those. I've never seen one like this, but it's got nice lines! There's pictures of the Hercules on the second page of this thread:

Build date for this Hawthorne Hercules | General Discussion About Old Bicycles

I'm not going to argue with the original owner! Especially since that sounds about right! So the later 70's reflector pedals were added later also?

and the Robin Hood is on the second page of this thread:

And you have a beautiful bike, by the way! Kurt Kaminer's "The Headbadge" web site has a page on dating Raleighs by decals and paint schemes, and that may have been a one-year pattern.

Royal Enfield had a motorbike with the “Bullet” model name.
