Vintage medium sized, up to 5’8” tall step through bicycle similar to those offered by Hercules, Phillips, and Raleigh.
Cool pink color with scratch cover-up nail paint included.
White striping stickers on the frame, fork, and chainguard are in ok condition for their age.
Convenient Wald front basket.
Bell: Disney Mickey Mouse made by Reich in Germany still rung alerting Los Alamitos trail blazers of my approach.
New steady or blinking red taillight Kiley LM-002 for added safety we all need on the streets today. 2 AAA batteries included. Bespoke 3d printed light to fender mount shroud looks good though may or may not be IPX rated for rain ingress.
New brake cables.
Front hub bearing races resurfaced. Even though there is an oil port on the hub adding oil is not a good idea. Parktool Polylube 1000 Polyurea PPL-1 grease should be good for hundreds of miles.
Sturmey-Archer hub stamped with 55 indicating it was made in 1955. Oil can be added to the port on the hub.
The white seat spring covers on this bike were recreated tracing the original pattern of this rare perhaps for good reason part.
Tires: 26x1 3/8” Raleigh red dot look free of wear although the dot no longer has red color.
Chain has been cleaned and oiled and is ready to go.
The chrome parts are in amazing condition.
Added a front reflector I found in my stash very late last year.
Thanks for looking!
