Humber bicycle with brooks sadde

acowhie

Retro Newbie
Men's bicycle - functional
Brooks leather saddle - gorgeous colour
New gearing and brake system - entirely recent refit/service
in full functioning use
Navy blue colour with what I take to be original mud guards
Classic ring-ring bell
Upright riding position.
'The Humber' and made by Raleigh Industries is on the frame.
picture of the emblem attached
I have no idea of how old the bicycle is. 306234 H and what looks like NM220 is stamped on frame under saddle.
Price 215

That's a lovely head badge. Would be good to see the rest. And what size. And location.

London based West End. Not v far from Euston train station Frame size 23inch / 59cm
Can email more pictures if you like - file size too big to post to forum I think
 
Re:

The rear hub if original will have a date, month and year, my best guess would be mid 1950s.
Can't remember when Raleigh started calling their cheap seam welded heavyweght tubing "2030", about mid 50s, we used to laugh at it then.
I was retailing all Raleigh makes then.
Pedals not original.
