I'd agree about the earlier dating, probably seventies. It's in nice condition and looks all original. Any model name anywhere? Looks like a budget type with the steel rims. Derailleur looks like a Sachs Huret. The shorty mudguards would be an after market fitment.
What do you intend doing with it?
It’s on eBay, I’m tempted to buy as I used to have what I think is this bike. Although I had this bike late 80’s early 90’s which doesn’t fit in what what most people think the bike is. It was a great bike, light, nicely geared. Nostalgia is ruling my head, if it is the same bike!
I’m no expert, but it looks the same as my 70’s BSA.I agree, nostalgia can be a cruel mistress, it’s a BSA by Raleigh, so a Raleigh basically. I’m guessing even though it might be a 70’s bike the frame stayed the same until I bought it sometime later. Does this seem plausible?
