Pre 1950s rides of LFGSS: old bikes, vintage rats, classic lightweights

Now for something completely different

Sunbeam

Would anyone here like this?

I thought I'd offer it here first - it's not really a sale - I'd just like some one to have it and make a small donation to charity.

It's a BSA built Sunbeam, almost certainly 1940's. Its has two possible good points:

1. It's unusual - the right hand chainstay is formed by the chaincase (there is a bracing strut concealed inside the case).
   
2. It's great if you happen to do a lot of riding during rainstorms - your chain will remain perfectly lubricated.
   
   

Bad points:

1. Heavy.
   
2. Not very rigid.
   
   

It's a 21" frame, the wheels (which are original) are 26 x 1 and three eighths. The black stripe in the centre of the rims was a Sunbeam feature. The 3 speed hub is BSA.

Available for collection from Willesden.
