Ronson Bike

[sekib]

I have a Ronson bike does anyone know anything about them? It has two tone paint work and the gear levers are on the cross bar and it is made from 525 reynolds tubing. Does anyone know where they were made ? How old it is? If it has any value? Thank's

A photo would help, but as it's made of Reynolds 525, then it will be a decent frame and lighter than 4130 or gas pipe / steel tube.

If the frame is (TIG) welded, then there is a good likelihood it was made in Taiwan; it will still be hand made and a lot of expensive frames are coming from Taiwan these days, just look at the Genesis range of bikes.

Without knowing the components spec, that's about all I can say.

I think it does exactly what it says on the tin.

I have heard of them, no idea why though.

Have you seen this: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... lit=ronson, maybe the roadie section might be able to shed some light?

You will need a photobucket or flickr account upload on there then copy and paste onto here

I think you might have to reach 5 posts to do that, reply a couple of times to responses to this thread and see if that works. If it dies, you should be able to add pics, but there are restrictions on both physical and file size, so if you have an account with flikr, photobucket or similar, it would be easier to use that and embed links/images in your posts.
