Vintage Bicycling - veteran, vintage, classic and retro bicycle enthusiast blog. Bicycle rides and restorations, period photos and brochures, tales from the workshop and random mutterings. Friday, May 8, 2015. Here's the front page from the 1959 Coventry Eagle brochure. The way it folds out makes it hard to scan but the cover is worth posting for the cheesey fifties celebrity endorsement! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Vintage Bicycling - veteran, vintage, classic and retro bicycle enthusiast blog. Bicycle rides and restorations, period photos and brochures, tales from the workshop and random mutterings. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Monday, June 1, 2015. Girder framed project finished. Weight-wise the cycle is a tank but it's a quality product and the ride is good. I'm not sure if the Sturmey hub is original or not but it makes the whole plot a lot more rideable, no gears on this one would be a chore. The Veteran Cycle Club.

Brighton to Bristol | 194¼ Miles
https://194miles.wordpress.com/2014/04/15/brighton-to-bristol
In 1938 my grandad rode 194 miles in a 12 hour bike race. In September 2014 I hope to do the same. April 15, 2014. Bristol falls at the edge of a circle with radius of 150 miles from Brighton. I think I was partly inspired by one of my Grandads stories of a cycling tour that he took to Wales. It was before the war, shortly after he had bought a new bike with its 3 gear Sturmey Archer hub, in fact the very bike he is riding in The Photograph. A modern version of the same view of the bottom of Bear road.
