For Sale Vintage 1926 Elswick model 24 LR Light Roadster

[philp]

Quite a rare thing - sloping top tube 1926 Elswick model 24 LR light roadster

Frame number F152328

Sympathetically restored to a very high standard.

Original rexine covered Wrights sprung saddle in nice condition.

26 inch wheels, roller lever brakes.

Note - the chainguard is not missing. If you look at the catalogue illustration you'll see that this model did not have one.

It rides and stops beautifully. There is no work to be done - the bike is fully functional and just needs to be ridden.

Lots of time and energy (and yes, money) has been lavished on this bike.

Looking for around £450

Located East Sussex BN8 4HJ

Hi Andrew - yes with the Langsett something's got to go. I have a really nice Currys Elizabethan also for sale but I don't think these
bikes are for this forum.

I for one would like to see that, not to buy but just out of interest

I already saw it, certainly this has a place on RB?

Currys Elizabethan

Anyone interested in this sort of thing? A Currys Elizabethan made to commemorate the coronation of our late queen. Currys has a very interesting history in the bike world and at one time were one of the largest bike manufacturers in the country before they started selling fridges and the like...

That's a beauty. Sure to sell on here - if indeed it's for sale.

 

[Guinessisgoodforyou]

That is beautiful, I would love to see more.

Thanks for the comments - I have now put the Currys bike up for sale as well but don't hold out much hope as it has attracted no interest
whatever in the 'reader's retro bike rides'!
