I will clean that up this week where the number is.

other British vehicles are awaiting service.

a friend is looking to see what wheels he has, but the hubs need to stay with bike I believe.

the front spacing is likely to be 89mm rather than the more commonly encountered on derailleur geared cycles 100mm

O0058
i think the far left # is a O? There also is a x before 058

Looks like a wright seat, is saddle soap best conditioner?

-----

the X was placed in the shell at the time of the shell's manufacture and is not part of the serial

looking like 1969

---

accepted treatment for saddle tops is soaking in neatsfoot oil

---

frame size appears to be the 23 1/2" nominal as measured centre to top

is this a good size for you/intended rider?

usually about right for someone 5'10" - 5'11" of height

---

paint cleaning and polishing -

go gentle around the transfers - they are not clear coated

[Seaswood]

size yes good.

-----

in the context of a cycle's finish the term "transfers" refers to all the add-ons to the paint regardless of their technology

this could be decalcomania, foil, vinyl, varnish fixing, paper, etc.

puzzled by the machine's mid-flange hubs; do not recognize them; are you are to read a marking on their barrels?

one possibility might be BH

[Seaswood]

The rims are sturmey archer, the hubs have a marking on them I do not know?

the rear is a tad bit rougher than the front rim.

That logo on the hub is the Raleigh Industries logo - Sir Walter Raleigh lowering his cape.
