Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
An acquaintance of mine has just acquired a 'Rambler' bicycle, a fairly unusual machine over here. Unfortunately pictures are not available as yet.
What I know of the bicycle is that the head badge says Rambler, Model 41 at the bottom and bears the date 1901 at the top.
It has what he describes as "very ornate" lug work on the fork crown, extending well down the blades. Similar lugwork extending along the downtube and also rearward of the bottom bracket along the chain stays.
Does anyone know for how long this model was in production for?
Also, I would love to see a photo of a similar model if anyone has one, or a catalogue image would be highly appreciated.
This is a bit of a new area for my friend, classic British lightweights are very much his forte and his collection of such machines is pretty cool.
This machine will get ridden, and then sometimes we may get 3 great American cycles out on our rides through South Oxfordshire!
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Cheers,
Darren.
