I couldn't help myself. Just home, so no pictures yet. The hub is dated January, 1961 and there seems to be an oil port (?) in the bottom bracket. It has what I would classify as very light wear and the lights work, front and rear. The frame pump is still shiny and the pegs for it are painted the same color as the frame, black. The splint basket's leather straps are in very good condition. Chrome sparkles. Everything is stamped or decaled "England", including the lights. Would you have purchased this one for $80? I'm not looking to "flip" for profit, so please be kind. I think the rear Pletscher rack may have been a more modern addition, but it's the classic style.

I'll replace the cables, tires,and maybe the seat. It has what appears to be the original Wrights saddle. Thanks for not talking me out of this one. If your responses are positive, I'll share them with my husband.
