Hi all, just wanted to share my lovely new bike. This is a 1952 rotrax I don’t really know much more than that. The bike is in amazing condition and belonged to my friends dad unfortunately it has spent most of its life in an attic practically virgin, bad news for the bike, good news for me. I bought it off my friends mum for £100 and it comes with the original paperwork, I have no idea what its worth but I thought it was defiantly worth a hundred quid, it's beautiful. what do you guys think? anyone seen one like it before? I know the company were based in Southampton and built some lovely bikes, I don’t yet have the paperwork so I cant pry any further. Any advice on a new saddle? unfortunately the original has gone. I was thinking I might convert it to single speed and just use it as my fancy sunny day ponsing around bike, as I already have a fully geared claud but then look at it I don’t know if I have the heart.
