Royce Union?

[bikeriderx]

Hey! The fine folks over at the CABE won't answer...Does anyone know anything about a Royce Union...? I'm shopping for a lady at work and I found one on Craigslist...I've never heard of 'em...I can buy it right and flip it to her...But I gotta drive 200 miles round trip!!!! :?:

Pretty low end stuff as I recall, wouldn't go 200 miles for it.

Royce Union was good when it was Dutch made. Raleigh had bought the company way back in the '60's or more and then was made in Taiwan or somewhere like that. Ended up department store type bike in the end. I cut up a Royce Union MTB to make a Hammer Head trike.

Royce Unions are cool, the ones made in Holland. I bought a 1962 Royce Union pilot at a flea market. Mine has a Sturmey Archer 3-speed.

That is cool! :mrgreen: But this one looked all curvey...prolly after production was moved to Asia...

I also have a '59 Royce Union that looks very much like yours. They are pretty cool but mine needs to be worked on to ride, someday!

Cool! I am missing a chain guard on mine. But I do recall seeing one like it. Is the model name, "Pilot"? By the way, cute dog. :mrgreen:

Mine is a Pilot. If your looking for a chain guard and don't care what it says you can find them on any Raleigh type english bike. The mounts are sometimes different as is some of there lengths. I was working on the Grunge Rudge last night preparing the chain guard and noticed I had a Philips in my hand, same as the Rudge but a half inch shorter. Whatever, any guard till you find the right one.

Dog says woof.

Hey! The fine folks over at the CABE won't answer...

Well I answered you over there! :mrgreen: ~Adam

Thunder and his trike is named Lightning. That bike rolls every good day till it gets to cold for him. Then I take the cargo rack off and ride it in the snow.
