For Sale RO Harrison 1950s 21" Ladies "Rigide Kermesse"

[RetroFran]

My dad - an amateur road racer in the late 1930s (Cosmo Road Club) - bought it direct from RO Harrison in Peckham in 1952 and had it shipped out to Germany where my family lived (I have the original receipt!). It's been well used, and had a few alterations (pads put on the pedals, and some tidying of the paintwork), but works perfectly since I replace the inner tubes. Mum is now 100 years old and it probably hasn't been ridden in 25-30 years! Unfortunately, I can no longer use or keep it. For anyone interested in getting their hands on a truly vintage bike, this is going for £150.

My daughter has decided she's interested in a restoration project - nice to keep it in the family! So this is no longer for sale.
