Vintage Ladies Elswick Hopper with Basket - SOLD

Hello All

I am clearing out some bits and sadly no longer have room for a lovely old ladies bike - Elswick Hopper (small frame size, I can measure if people are interested).

Original thread here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/190201

This has been my occasional sunny summer day bike (my partner preferred her new Pashley Princess, go figure). So has seen about 100miles of nice riding since I bought her.

Since I bought her I have:

• Had a basket holder manufactured, so the basket could take the weight of my bag.
  
• Replaced both tyres with new
  
• Full service and lube when I bought her (she is super not-squeaky for a bike of her age)
  
  

I am asking for SOLD for £70 which is less than I paid. Hopefully she will go to a nice new family.

I have tried to upload a bunch of pics to give you an idea... the saddle is a brooks, although the tag came off. The condition is probably best observed and is (I think) normal for a bike of this age.

Feel free to PM with questions or for more pics.

Pickup from Barbican/ St. Pauls

Thanks

Dibs!

Really interested in purchasing this lovely bike. Is it available straight away?

Thanks,

Scott

It is... just PMed you.

Hi there,

Apologies but my new flat has no room to store the bike so it look's like it's a no for now.

Sorry,

Scott

Ahhh... no worries. She should defo be stored out of the rain.
Thanks for the update.

interested in this for a friend. do those brakes work good?

Also could be interested if @jerrysk8 doesn't take it - second dibs?

Heya @jerrysk8 - the brakes work well for rod brakes... if they've not used them before (or want something super safe) then this is not really the way to go. If you fancied checking them out I am around until about 16:30 today and from 9:30 - 16:00 tomorrow. I could do pics of the pads and rims specifically if you like (but that only shows you what they look like, rather than how they work :)

@S70N3Y - noted thanks.

I would note at this point that I would really like to move the bike on this week if possible. I'm heading to Bristol after work on Friday, so will be easier if we could do before that.

Also interested for a friend who's looking for a bike, so 3rd dibs and I'm emailing her

Thanks for all of the interest everyone. Now sold to @jerrysk8
