True barn find from Monrovia, SC! Dusty and crusty, but it’s all there! Been looking for a 23” frame 3 speed roadster and couldn’t pass this one up. Did a spot compounding/waxing of part of the rear fender and white lower part and it came to life real nice. Brit bikes really have nice durable paint that can shine up with a little effort. Breakdown, serious cleaning, tending to all bearings and this will be a classic rider again.

I recently rehabbed a 1968 Robin Hood with a 23" frame. It looked a bit worse off than this Dunelt. A ladies Royal Scot of similar age became a fender and chainguard donor as it was in nice shape. I also had a 67 Raleigh wheel set that was swapped in. Never did get any pictures. I'll have to get some to post. I'm trying to stick to the 23" frames as they are a better fit for me but I still have a few 21". I also enjoy my DL-1 but agree with you on the braking.
 
I love these English 3 speeds and have had a few. The 23 inch frame is nice, but the smaller 21 inch frames have a surprisingly close, but tighter feel. I still prefer the 23 inch.
