A pal of mine has one of the above complete with all the original transfers, parts, even original tyres. He also has the receipt from the shop it was brought from. I couldn't quite get to it last night because of the amount of stuff in his garage but I think it has Simplex gears.
It has been hanging in his garage for most of the past 45 years.
The rims are a bit rusty and the original tyres look a bit perished but other than a couple of scuffs it is pretty much ok.
Is it worth anything to anybody?
Would it be of interest to an enthusiast of old cycling gear or maybe a museum?
Or should I take it off his hands, strip it down an build it up again with new parts and make good use of it?
I'll see if I can get a photo of it next time I see him.
