Wanted: Old style ladies bike

Posted on
  • Hi,

    The title says it all. My friend is looking for a cheap Dutch style ladies bike for cruising around town.

    Some sort of strumey archer 3-5 gear style thing. Looking for an older but well looked after / serviced bike. Preferably a light weight older frame rather than a modern heavy cheap copy.

    Not looking to spend around £100.

    Many thanks!

  • Hey there Webof,

    My girlfriend is selling a Phillips bike with 3 gears. It was made in 1957. I have had a go on it a while ago, its not exactly light. More of a cruiser, a mean bruiser of a bike which demolishes potholes and speed bumps.

    On occasions, I am told that the chain seems to disengage in a way that allowed the pedals to continued to be pedalled without driving the chain. It sounds really bad, but this is the best way I can describe the problem from what I am told.

    It has no structural dents, the only damage is a slightly amount of rust in places, the handlebars have seemed survived without any blemishes however.

    She hasn't told me much about it such as size, but as a rough guide, she is 5 ft 2 on a cold day and the bike fits her well. But I will get on her to measure it soon.

    Here are a few pics. She hasn't taken the most useful pictures, if there are any more you would like, I will get her on the case.
    The bike is in South East London.
    Thanks buddy.
