Vintage English Rocket

[Guest2]

I found this at a local resale stop, and bought it for the Brooks saddle for an attempt at restoring it.
I just kept it as a wall-hanger. (The saddle)
The whole bike was 10 bucks! Did I do ok for 10 bucks?
The lights are now on my '62 Typhoon.

For $10.00 you can keep the saddle, give me the rest of the bike and still come out all right.

I'd even throw in a side of fries, if I was closer.

If you were closer it'd be yours buddy!

Nice bike! If that is a Sturmey Archer hub, it should be date stamped. I've seen a lot of old British 3 speed roadsters, but this is a new one for me.

Nah....They should have had a mask on when they took your $10

Thanks! I'll have to take a closer look at the hub for the date stamp. The bike is front porch-art with my wife's plants.
