Do any of you guys have an old ,scruffy steel (probably lugged) town bike lurking at the back of your shed ,either complete and needing work .I dont mind if it needs respraying I intend it as a pub bike and round town bike so it needs to be theft proof (ie Looks rough),I would ideally like sturmey drum brakes and 3 speed sturmey archer gears.
I don’t want a bike with derailleur gears,need to keep it really simple ,so 3 speed hub gears and hub/drum brakes,typically an old steel roadster style .
Very much along the lines of the one offered below by Guinessisgoodforyou.
It is only to save me using my good bike when I pop down town.
Thank you
All the best

I have an old post office bike that needs bottom bracket cups and spindle. Rod brakes in good shape. Chainset is on the rack. IMG_20250521_143708751.webp
 
I have a large (23”) Muddy Fox courier in white/purple fade. It’s too big for me but was about to build up with most parts to make a smart retro courier type bike.

It’ll need a few bits to finish so you could make it your own easily.

Message me if you’d like pics.
 
I got a diamond back apex true temper frame with a matching spinner fork going if you want - paint is suitably rough for your needs. 11/8 A-head set up 18"
Think I might have a fitting seat post and headset too if needed
