Bought another old cycle this time a 1955 Raleigh in original condition with a four speed Sturmey Archer dynohub. All thats missing are the lights.The gears and everything else appears to work fine.[img]

Looks nice, I've been toying with the idea of resurrecting my 50s Raleigh, just needs tyres and tubes I think so not a big deal to get it sorted.

How many bicycles do you have?

Only the two the Raleigh and the Humber.I did have about six or seven but sold them a few years ago.

I have an old Raleigh police bike which I saved from the scrap dealer's hacksaw while in the police myself. Constable's bike ie no gears. Lovely ride though. I recently had to have a new leather top put on the Brooks B190 saddle frame. Looks and feels great. I cannot for sure date the bike as the frame number fits no website info I can find. I am interested to know how you can date your bike so well.

Just been given a lovely Lucas bell for it as well. I also have a 1935 Morris Eight Tourer in many many bits. 2 yr project about to start.
