Humber?

[Kent]

Hi i just wondering if anyone has any info on what I have picked up what it might be an year? I think it's an old humber from what I've been able to find online but not 100% and cant find a way to get the year any ideas. Thanks

Are you sure it's a Humber? They had duplex forks.

And they had rather distinctive chainrings.

I'm not 100% sure if it's a humber or not the twisted rack and the way the frames bolted together pointed me in the humber direction any ideas what it might be?

I don't think it's a Humber for the reasons I've already mentioned. The dropouts and bolt-on seatstays suggest it's pre-war but there is not much distictive to go on. The chainring doesn't look generic, you could try doing an image search for that. The rear mudguard/light looks like it's been taken off a much later Raleigh Courier. Other bits have probably been changed as well.

@SkipdiverJohn might be able to help. If you don't get an answer here you could try posting on Facebook:

PS Racks with twisted supports were fairly common and they still are on bikes produced in India and Pakistan.
