Hi everyone
Just getting into old 1900 - 1960 British 3 speeds, only a hobby and great fun.

I have today picked up a bicycle which has a speedking made in England brass headbadge and raynal written around the chainwheel.
It has rod brakes and a sturmey 3 speed hub
Double crossbar
I carnt seem to find out anything on the net

Hello Kevin, cheers for joining us here at BF. As 10 Wheels said the Classic and Vintage Forum can help you with your questions about the British style 3-speed IGH bikes that you are interested in. I remember being envious of a few local kids in our neighborhood that owned 3-speed Raleigh's and some Sears-Roebuck branded bikes. We called them English Racers, not knowing better.
