Royal Enfield Himalaya Pro

[silentsparky]

I brought this last summer as a project but never got around to it and have since become more interested in old road bikes

I haven't been able to find too much info on these, so value is unknown to me;

Royal Enfield Himalaya Pro frame - 20" BB - ST & 21" TT
Forks / Stem / Seatpost look original to the bike
Shimano SIS Rear mech (7 speed)
Shimano SIS Front mech
Shimano Shifters (3+7) have lever to switch between friciton & indexed
Unknown Canti's

- £40 collected (RG26) / £55 delivered? or some deal involving an old road bike (either project or finished)

Never seen one before! Is it an Indian MTB??

 

[silentsparky]

I have no idea, think it would brush up nicely though. Just needs wheels and a cassette and general clean up...

 

[silentsparky]

Anyone?

Do you still have this bike...?? I had one "when I was a lad...!" Mum and Dad bought me it new around '93-'94... This was the "higher"market one as there was another model but for life of me I can't remember what it was called... Was a really yuk yellow colour.... I still have it tucked away in my dads lock up but this one looks better nick than my one...??

 

[silentsparky]

Yep, I still have it lurking in the back of the shed...

Never heard of an RE mountain bike but it's possible they were a name licenced out by Raleigh. From memory the RE motorbike company was brought by Norton-Villiers at the end of the 1960's and then when the British motorbike industry ate itself in the 1970's there was a big fire sale of assets, trade names etc. Raleigh acquired the bicycle rights to B.S.A, and Triumph- both better known for motorbikes- in this way. Our local car accessory shop sells new girl frame Triumphs "Licenced by Raleigh".

The alternative, that it is an Indian built mountain bike is also a possibility [And maybe explains the Himalayan name], an independent RE company has been building Enfield motorbikes in India since the 1960's.
