Hi there,
I am a total bike newbie so I won't even try to act like i know anything.
I have recently found a vintage looking bike in the boiler room of the castle i live in, here in Scotland.
I have no idea how long it has been in there but I am interested in trying to restore it. The only problem is I have no idea where to start....I don't even know what type of bike it is.
I have taken a few photos so if anybody could give me any information I would be much obliged.
The photo of the handle bar - you seem to be able to twist the grip and when you do it allows you continue peddling but without engaging the back wheel ot turn. Writing on it says..."Sturmey Archer"
The photo of the back wheel - I am not sure what purpose the bar in the middle of the wheel serves but I think it is linked to the handle bar twist.Writing on it says..."Sturmey Archer"
Thanks.
