Saxon lightweight made in the late 30s, not too big (around a 54/55cm) with 4-speed Sturmey gears (FW hub), North End bars (I think), 26x1 1/4 rims. It has the original Brooks Champion saddle - a bit worn, but intact - Pelissier Special caliper at the front, Formos caliper at rear. Unfortunately, it was given a new coat of silver paint in the early 50s and as the photos show, it's now a bit untidy. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to respray properly. I haven't got round to sorting it out properly - rust on chrome etc, bit of corrosion on the bars, front brake needs pads - but it rides really, really well. It does need a bit of work, but it's a nice, original vintage bike. I'm looking for £90 for it. Not averse to splitting it if needs must.
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.

Let me know if anyone's interested in the vintage blue men's racer (Saxon, gents', 56cm) that's also shown via the link.
