Found this bike on the local for sale ads, went out today to pick it up.
The guy didn't know much about it other than he had, had it for quiet sometime. He never touched much other than putting new tires and a new shift cable on it.
The bike is red in colour,with 28" Sturmey-Archer wheels, 3 speed, front hub and rear hub. They have a stamp on them that states 50?
It has a horse hair filled leatherite seat, and a Brooks luggage rack (made in england). The tire's are Michelin, which still have the manufacturing nibs. He stated that the tires were imported from France, because of them being 28" he had a hard time finding them locally (Toronto)
Not a clue, what this bike really is. The serial number states Z6609 just below the seat clamp, unfortunately no head badge.
I really only bought it for the wheels to put on my latest project, but I just might clean it up and keep it as it is. But like everything my heart will change and the frame will be cut by 3pm this afternoon, kidding.
