| hello everyone. i p/u this nice bike a lenton grans prix. the Serial # on the seat lug is 69849RA. there is another # under the BB that is different. the model is a reg harris. the paint is really bad, so i'm having the decal remade. i would like to get some orig. equip. back on this bike, like maybe the handlebars, seat and rims. i tried some vintage campy high flange hubs, but these dont fit thru the dropouts. the diameter of the axle is to big. now i dont want to file the drop outs. currently, the rear hub is a normandy lux. comp. i think th orig. were bhrace light, can anyone confirm that?? how can i build rims for these?? will any normandy lux hubs work? or was there a different size for raleighs?? by: 172.191.214.194 |

| This is an original Mercury roadster: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6577752850&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Not Mine etc---sam by: 68.91.252.235 |
| Thank you, Sam. That one looks a wee bit more "vintage" than the one I saw - and have subsequently purchased. No collectors value, I'm sure. Just a tear-apart and for casual riding. Cleaned up rather nicely. Needed all the usual stuff - oiling and adjustment. Gave me some fits at first but all's well now. Still, I intend to tear it down soon and learn something. The neighbors love it, what with the generator lights and all. The've asked me if I have telegrams for them as it is a "courier" model. Pretty fast bike, too. by: 67.160.21.249 |
| Is this the right discussion forum to ask questions about my Armstrong 3-speed? I just picked one up and am curious to find out more about the year it was made, the company, and good resources for stock parts or at least reproduction parts. I had posted at the Lightweights forum but was told I'd probably have better luck here. Thanks. Paul by: 205.225.207.97 |
| Not an expert here but I have an Armstrong 3 speed as well. Mine is what I call Raleigh built. And of course resembles a Raleigh.Assuming yours has its original Sturmey Archer rear hub there should be a date on it.There are plenty of general 3 speed parts right here. If you want I can email some pictures of mine to see if it will help identify yours. Spike by: 24.58.64.136 |
| Thanks for the advice. I'll check the hub. It's pretty much all stock except for one of the cables. by: 205.225.207.97 |
| I have a ladies Royal Enfield bicycle made in Reddich, England with a sturmey archer 3 speed and dyno hub with factory fitted lights, I would like to know what year these were produced and type of seat that came with it as it is the part not original. by: 144.139.30.54 |
| Both the SA 3-speed hub and the SA Dynohub should have 2-digit years stamped into them and, probably, month numbers as well. If both are reasonably close to each other, the hubs were probably built no more than a few months before the bike was assembled. Most likely, the original saddle was a Brooks B-72 or B-66 (see www.permaco.com) or a Wright's or another brand very similar tensioned leather saddle. by: 66.30.200.82 |
| I owned one from 1937 and it was a ladies frame model with a k- 4 hub gear. Marvelous and sweet and a total joy to own and ride. I remember that July night, that evening date gliding down the lane under the moonlight. Pick a good pair of bikes, better yet, pick a gem of a cycling partner and go have a magical experience. by: 68.41.206.53 |
