Retro Newbie
Hi, Im new here :) I cant post any pics yet but I bought a bike from the flea market and cant find anything about it. I hoped someone on here might be able to help?
Its a ladies bike with Sturmey Archer 3 speed gear and lights. I assume its 1960s. I had a 1955 Elswick Hopper that it reminds me of in colouring.
It is racing green and has handpainted gold detailing and a white arrow style emblem, along with a crest on the front and back that says "Prince of the road made in Birmingham". It has an unusual frame as it has 2 bars from the handle bars post, to the seat post. There is a rather large rack for the bag, it came with a white bag. I cant find any serial numbers on it except at the bottom of the seat post there is a OS 4/5 . There is a chrome "tip" to the front mudguard.
Its a lovely little bike, I would like to restore it for my own use. It is missing a pedal unfortunately and the tyres need replacing. I would like to know the make and year. Forgive me I know barely nothing about bike terminoligy, but I do love them!
If you can tell me anything about it, or if any specific photos would help I would be very grateful.
