If you possess a rare taller (20" seat tube) middleweight cantilever complete or frame and would like to be added to the registry let us know. Only made from 1962-1965 in short production runs, which is already noticeable in the list compiled thus far. A few of us here are obsessed with learning more detailed history on the model, so please add any knowledge to this post as well. I'll do my best to keep the list updated on a regular basis. Looking forward to the knowledge share.

Hi all, tonight I pulled this ‘65 KSHD from a central Iowa barn. SN is EA17145, May 7, 1965. Of particular note, check out that Sturmey Archer 3 speed rear hub laced to an S7 with matching thick gauge spokes!

Looks like someone built a custom newspaper delivery bike there with the 3 speed and HD spokes.
Looks like your bike is only 71 frame numbers away from one of @irideiam s KSs. Have fun with it!

Lets see some more EA king sizes, I know they're out there.
