For Sale: 3 speed sturmey town bike for sale

Nice old tourer style town bike up for grabs.....
It has a 3 speed Sturmey rear hub dated 92 which is more than likely original to the bike, so it's a 92!

It is called a 'Direct Elite Supreme' and while it is probably Elite as there are no others like it around, it isn't supreme.......it goes directly in a straight line if you want it to though.
There is a dynamo fitted, but no working as it has the wires dissconnected from the front light and is missing the rear lens form the light.
It is a lovely shade of purple, with a few bits of surface rust on bits and bobs where birds have shite on it etc and the chrome is flaky on the bars and edge of the rims, but a bit of work with tin foil should get them looking better....I haven't tried.
All it needs is a bolt to hold on the non driveside crank arm, as this is missing.....If I can get one from somewhere, I will fit it before collection.
Its about a 23" frame....I'll measure later/tomorrow and 26" 1 3/8ths tyres......

All in all, this should make a nice daily commuter that will outlast a modern, more expensive generic thing.

Asking £50 collected from Bishops Stortford, near Stansted airport on the Liverpool Street line

£45 collected..... Perfect pub bike fodder!

Quite possibly - I like purple. Going up from London to Cambridge today. Would be up for checking it out on the way home tomorrow arvo. Can you PM me your number? I can't PM due to never having posted on this forum before.

I'll pm later..... I've got the bolt for the crank now too ;0)

I can't pm you either.....

I've had a lot of fun with this bike already today - in really good nick and a pleasure to ride and actually just look at. Thanks, Pat.

Ha!
Good news mate, have fun!

If your mate wants that other frame and fork, let me know ;o)

If you wanted to put a nice comment in the 'good traders' thread near the top of the main page, that would be cool :o)

Hi, this is owen.

Enjoyed seeing the super bike cave....and still very interested in the frame and fork.

But I need to figure out a little more about how much it would cost to build up and so on....any chance you'd be able to send me what you know about it so I can do a little digging?

Thanks!

Hi mate, no problem, if you look on here for the thread with 'unknown Columbus EL OS frame and fork' in the title, you should find what I know :0)
I'm on my phone at the minute, but will try to find the link ;0)

Hi mate, this should be the link...

Happy hunting!!

Ok, it's got to be done I think. It demands to be built, and I'll enjoy the project...are you around Sunday at all? I might be able to come pick it up in person.

;o)

I'm glad..........

Yep, I'll be around, but give me a call beforehand.....I think I'm playing football in the morning, but could collect you from the station in the afternoon to save you the walk up the hill!!

Sure, will do. I have access to a car for the day, so hopefully won't have to do a station stopover / trek.
