Thanks, Michael. That's quite a site! It is apparently a mid level commuting type bike, but I managed to pick up what appears to be a very clean example for less than what I would have paid for an El Cheapo in a box store. I had thought about changing the handlebars on the bike Gary got me, but I have never managed to figure out the gearing on the silly thing, and was really quite happy with the old Western Flyer 6 speed that he garage saled. I need to outfit it with a tool bag and lights, and possibly a rack for the rear wheel, and I will still be into it less than a box store bike. It sounds like parts are readily available, and it is simple enough that i should be able to work on it myself. If I decide to upgrade, I can always change the handle bars on his old Nishiki racing bike that weighs about three pounds. The only problem with that, as well as the bike he bought me, is that I am unable to add fenders, so it would be a dry road only bike.

Thanks again,

Kate




Hi.
 
I'm a lover of old english 3-speeds. My favorite is my 1951 Raleigh Lenton
Tourist. I've never owned a Dunelt. Here's a good site for info on British
bikes:
