A cool Phillips bike

[maddogrider]

My son brought this home for me the other day . He got it at a garage sale, looks pretty cool.

I think i might just clean it a little and ride it. The wheels are actually straight and true and the Sturmy Archer 3 speed shifts good, the date on the hub says 55. Needs different handle bars and fenders. The seat is comfortable but all i could think of when i was riding it was man i hope the springs dont pop threw :shock:

Doesn't that seat have an upper under-carriage? If so, you're probably safe. :mrgreen: Get a conventional bar and rock the wheels naked. :wink:
And a stem! :lol:

I had a tan one just like that with a sturmey archer 3 speed, are they worth much?

Does yours have that cool looking decal on the top tube? I dont know what its worth but it does ride petty good, it has a solid feel about it.

it didn't I traded it off last summer, just wanted to know if I got a good deal or not. I kinda miss it reguardless but I couldn't pass up a chance at a recumbent trike, even if it was a home built.

That's a real Phillips, made before Raleigh bought up all the other brands in 1960. Nice bike!
