Humber cruiser find

Just grabbed this rad bike. Must be 70s ish. Tall handle bars and all the lights work thru the generator both front and rear. Crazy!!! Too bad the tires are shot.

Really hard to find info on it. Thoughts on year or model?

Well after some soap and water plus a toothbrush it looks like I might have an older bike thatln I thought. 4 speed rear hub says 48 on it. Could she be a 1948 or is that referring to the hub itself?

Your Sturmey Hub was made September 1948. There might be some dates on other parts of the bike to confirm the whole bike is that old. Nice find!

1948 is correct for this bike, mostly. A few things have been swapped, but it's mostly there. Those FW hubs are great.
