Just picked this up locally, a very original early 60's Royal Enfield 'Club' model sports bike.
Not top of the range by any stretch of the imagination, but a really nice solid example of it's type, and in nice unspoilt condition. Original paint and transfers are a tired, but the brakes, cables, blocks, tyres, tubes, are all in great condition and don't even looked used. Rear wheel had a nasty buckle, so I have replaced both the original Rigidas with a similar period set of Raleigh branded chrome rimed 27" x 1 1/4".
5 speed Huret Svelto rear derailleur and shifter.
Bluemels Popular 'guards in red. Faded a little but in good condition otherwise.
Midland saddlebag, really cheap and cheerful but looks original to the bike.
Miller Dynamo - some rust flecks on the chrome lamps but the actual dynamo looks brand new. Obviously works fine.
Less said about the saddle and peddles the better.
Looking for £100 on it. Will chuck in the original wheels as well of course. It's not going to set the cycling world on fire, but it is ready to ride and everything mechanical is pretty much 'as new'.
It's in Southampton.
