Lot 301
A c1910 B.S.A. Fittings Gentleman's Bicycle. The braced frame measures 25-inches and remains in largely original condition, featuring a handlebar-operated rear brake and an auxiliary front brake. A (later?) K-type Sturmey Archer three-speed rear hub and Westwood rim is currently fitted to aid use in recent years, but its original back-pedalling hub and Roman rim (to match the front rim) comes with its purchase. Also fitted are rat-trap pedals, a period rear luggage rack, a bell, 17-inch curved flat handlebars and a 1920s Lucas 'Calcia Cadet' acetylene gas lamp mounted at the front. The early Brooks saddle is showing its years, but is usable. (2)
