forgot this was in there! found this at a thrift shop 1960s rollfast frame made in England, going to restore it.

Brilliant Vjd I ve not seen the old saddle bag for years. In the city I was born and bred still here lol we were once known as the centre of bicycles and car manufacturing . I hope you achieve your restoration and show us when done.

i sure will , it is a nice old bike, must have been in a barn or garage for many yrs tires still hold air

That's a start the tires are good. Yes you ll be surprised what hides in garages even over here I use to help my ex with his scrap yard which entailed looking out for old cars bikes etc either scrapling tgem or dking them up for sale my first car was a mini from the scrap bought for £10.00 the starter button was on the floor he spen the night welding it mot and taxed the next day .

a mini sounds great, i like scrap yards

So do I even now even though I cant climb or get to them any more I still look on skips lol you can get some great things off skips. Yes I prefer the old mini s great for parking getting in and out of traffic jams.

over here they do not let you go into the yards now, when growing up i was in them a lot

How strange you can over here . A lovely childhood memory for you .

a lot it has to do with insurance i think

Ahrr I see the west has gone mad even here every thing insurance for this that and the other making us poorer and them richer.

YEP!!!!!!!!!

Glad you can see it too. ☺
