RobT Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Can I tempt anyone with some plastic bike loveliness? For spears or reapers as it requires new tyres (supplied) and brakes need a bit of fettling. I replaced the front tyre yesterday but punctured two inner tubes trying to wrestle the tyre back on. I am hopeless at bike maintenance, always have been, and my interest evaporates quickly (unlike with cars where I do try and persist with stuff). It’s an early one with the plastic handlebars, and date stamp shows it being a May 1982 build. The 3-speed Sturmey Archer gears work, and it’s mostly complete bar the dynamo for the front light and stand. An actual OMG barn find, as the previous owner inherited it with his house that had a big FO barn in the grounds. More a curiosity than actual transport, I’m not expecting much interest seeing as Cavcraft had to give his one away! I’ll bung it on eBay but just thought I’d try here first. Can deliver within reasonable distance, otherwise collection from Beckenham, SE London. strangeangel, Cavcraft, KruJoe and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Brakes should be pretty easy to do, the tyres are a pain though as the wheels are quite deep dished, I seem to recall. If anyone up this way buys it, I'll fit the tyres and have a go at the brakes, if wanted. alcyonecorporation and RobT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 These look so much better with the placca handlebars! My ex-Billy Itera was deposited in my garage after shitefest and I still haven't even seen it yet. Might have a look tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
