Oh yes,
I still have my secondary modern school Gazelle bike from 1967 =E2=80=93 ol=
der than my BGT!
And it is equipped with a Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub.
50 years ago I went with this bike on holidays to Germany, Luxemburg and Be=
lgium. Covered 1200 KM=E2=80=99s in two weeks =E2=80=93 nothing failed.
In all these years only the front wheel went bust due to mistreatments by f=
ellow school guys.
It also has a leather Brooks saddle.
Rides great still.
Cheers,
Hans

Max=E2=80=99s Chinese-built British-name bike response made me curious. =
A quick Google lookup finds in the UK: Pashley, Brompton, Shand and Enigma=
as bicycle manufacturers, Brooks still making saddles, and a host of compo=
nent manufacturers.
My wife=E2=80=99s bicycle, kept from junior high school years, is a Rale=
igh, made in Nottingham, girl=E2=80=99s frame, chain fully enclosed, with S=

=2E Too bad for me that it is short, saddle-to-handlebars, as it is so comf=
ortable to ride.
