There must be a lot of really dumb hipsters around with more money than sense. Ladies bikes generally sell for less than mens ones and there are lots to choose from. Be hard-nosed and don't overpay!

Javelin was usually aimed at catalogues

But could be shop bought, a sort of cheaper competitor to the Raleigh Arena. Yep, 70'_80's. If it has cable clips then more 70's
The TdF model hadn’t gone up in price very much in two years. £96.95 in an earlier catalogue.

Saw this Pug on ebay last night. It states it's a 65cm frame which got my interest in it as a new project, but the headtube suggested it's not.
Anyway I messaged the seller and asked him to check the size and he's sent me these pics;
I'd call it a 58cm myself, but just thought I'd put it on here in case anyone, (not naming names @biggs682
), was looking at it but was put off by thinking it was 65cm.

Being a taller rider myself & looking for the bigger frames, I don't think I've ever seen an old 65cm frame, lucky to find the occasional 25" (64cm in modern money) but what's a cm between friends?

Would these be my size with 53cm frames with a 31.5 inside leg.

That's the same as my Hercules Aston Tourist and in the later post's it's set for me at 5ft 10" so should be fine for you .

The SA hub gear must be one of the most significant inventions in the entire history of cycling. It's up there with the concept of the safety bicycle, which is the origin of every triangulated frame design ever since. For utility riding I reckon SA hubs beat derailleurs hands down, so long as the terrain isn't too hilly. Traffic riding almost becomes a pleasure when you're on a bike that can never be stuck in the wrong gear for starting off again.
Just off in a minute myself for a spin on a gas pipe 3-speed as it happens. Cheap & cheerful and financially worthless, but a nice riding bike nonetheless.

Mighty short stem on the Longstaff but really tall standover, was this set up for a grasshopper?
