Good price for 1950 Humber?

Working Dyno hub and light, gear case and rod brakes for $260. What do you think? Thanks for your gut feelings...

Tough to say without pics. Maybe others will chime in.

Good for the buyer, or seller?!

I wouldn't pay $25 for that especially being European, but that's just me. Buy what you enjoy and have fun riding.

I think this price is insane. For a vintage Raleigh, there would be a following. Never heard of a Humber. Buy what you like, but that's not $250.

way cool forks.

That is a Raleigh-built Humber Dawn in an uncommon oversized frame. Lots of deluxe touches on that bike. Humbers from that era are top-end bikes along with Rudge and Raleigh. If you need that oversizsed frame to fit you, you'll wait awhile to find another Dawn type in that size. If everything is straight and no damage to that bike, the price is fair. It is not a steal, but that model, features and frame size are uncommon in the US generally.

Duplex forks originally designed for the early Humber trikes. It became a signature Humber feature.
