Rudge

No engine on these two wheels boys and girls. Leg Power. I thought some might be interested in my old Rudge Bicycle. After inheriting this gem from an uncle who lived on Cape Cod I brought her home to Iowa. New Brooks Bag and saddle which were dry rotted. New white walls and a clean up required. After some research I determined it is 1973ish or older. Hard to tell even with serial number.

Lighting generator still works great. Internal 3 speed hub shifts like a champ. It had a mile meter on it which read 50 miles when I got her.

I only get her out of the garage on special occasions. It is in excellent condition. If you see me on streets of Des Moines please say hello. Next time something with an engine. I promise.
