Here goes. Offered is a 1930s lightweight. I've no idea of the make; smallish frame is 20" (ref no 21037), bb is Bayliss Wiley. The brakes are original Resillion brakes done over in black. I'm told the bars could be Lauterwassers. Whatever they are, they're that nice shape. They've been taped as an expedient, but ideally they'd have original grips rather than modern tape. The rear hub is Sturmey Archer from July 1958 (quadrant lever on the top tube. I acquired the bike from an auction in Peterborough in a distressed state with a fading all over black paint job (before and after photos attached). It has been restored - not quite perfectly, but pretty well by an expert. The bike has an original Brooks B15 Champion Standard saddle in good-ish condtion. The original resillion brakes are intact and working (although they still suffer from the old black paint job). The tyres hold their air, the gears change smoothly, and it rides pretty well. I'm not totally enamoured of the new colour, so it's for sale or exchange ( perhaps a couple of hundred plus, or cash and a decent ss/fixie bicycle/s). Having trouble with attachments here, so PM me if the "before" and "after" photos don't show up

You can't link to photos in your webmail. You need to upload them here or host them on flickr.com or pornhub.com or megaporn.com or some other hosting provider.

Although I think we all agree lemonparty.org is the preferred picture hosting website for the wise old gentleman.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
