Just bought this (from this forum):
It actually came with a B66S saddle.
It is rideable but could do with a bit of fettling - wheels trueing and so on. I'll do more than that in good time, starting with a repaint.
It's a 1936 model that was overhauled around 1959. I think it was originally an "All Weather" model with black painted rims etc.
I am debating whether to stick with the rod brakes (assuming I can get the rims true enough) or to try to find some old enough hub brakes. I would prefer hub brakes but the front rim has 36 holes and I don't suppose I'll get an old Sturmey drum in 36, so I'll have to find a 32 hole 28x1 1/2 inch rim. Does anyone have a source for such things?
I'll probably fit a 3 speed hub. The bike would have had the option of a type K 3 speed or KB with brake, but I would be happy with an early AW or AB.
Anyway, my family now has 1930's roadsters for mother and daughter
leaving me feeling positively modern with my newfangled 1951 Humber (with titchy 26inch wheels at that
)
