Was on sale in school fete, unsold, than someone kindly pointed me to its new for sale location. Picked it up earlier today. All original, one of those - little dust down and off you go. OK will give those Dunlops a little WD40 treatment and perhaps sand down a little layer of brake rubber to gain some braking power.
I know Amalgam sometimes can mean issues, but this had survived 70+ years, so it should be fine I think. Luckily it is sunny this week, so plan to give it a go to find out how it rides and more importantly, does it fit me well and makes me wanting to ride it more? On paper numbers seem right at 22" seat & 22 1/2" top tube.
Anyone recognises chainset, looks similar to Durax? Also the hubs are new to me, looked them up on Velobase - Sprinter by Duralumin
