Thanks for all of the interest everyone. Now sold to @jerrysk8
Donation to the forum made :) -
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.

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

Hey @Joe81 Thanks for the quick reply! My lovely partner has apparently already got me one, so over to @matteroftaste etc etc Cheers and happy riding!
