A c.1936 Bullock bike, built in Adelaide, Australia.
I am the current custodian as in 2010 I was asked to look after it by the daughter of the original owner and her husband Graeme.
It had a good clean, then new tyres, tubes, toe clips and straps, wrapped the handlebars, replicated the hub shiners, installed two of my cable bands and replaced the saddle with one I recovered. I cut some urethane to use as 'brake blocks' in the Philco brakes.
Yesterday, I gave it a wash, pumped up the tyres and took it for a [plush] ride.
