ROBIN HOOD

[tomtr6]

I had a CCM 10 SPEED in the 70's, very light with the "501 tubing" I think it was called. Did a 100 miler with it. Its a safe bet I can't do that again.

Anyone know if these Robin Hood bikes are a good buy at $75?

Matinee idol Richard Greene bought the property in Inch, Gorey, Wexford in 1963. During his stay, the Georgian house played host to Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant and Richard Burton.

I’ve built my collection around non-Raleigh branded British 3 speed roadsters. So far, I have a Dunelt, Rudge, Philips, Hercules, Moulton F frame, Armstrong, BSA, Triumph, Gazelle, and my latest bike, a 1969 Robin Hood. These pics are as found, w/white tires.

I think that the timeline would favor Errol Flynn (1938 vs 1955-59). I know, he wasn't a Brit.

Smoothest riding bike in my collection is my Raleigh 3-speed roadster. I only added a bicycle “helmet”!

Oh wow. Neat job! I'm planning on a resto project of a 1965 BSA. Any idea what model it is? Says Golden Clubman on the frame, but I can't seem to find anything on it online.

The BSA name and sales pitch may be related to the BSA Gold Star Cubman Motorcycle that they were selling at a similar period.
