Enfield Coventry Cross ??
Hello all, trying to find a little information on these bicycles but not turning up an awful lot in my search. I've been passively watching for an English 3 speed that was mostly ready to go or may need a little TLC overall. Came across this bike today.
Head badge reads: Made by the Enfield cycle co. ltd. ******ch England. Has a cross symbol in red in the center with blue background and I can barely make out Covenant Cross that is above/below the cross.
Has a Sturmy Archer hub. Persons leather saddle is a bit beat but looks quite usable. Someone attached a basic wicker basket to the bars that contain a couple leather saddle pouches. One of them being a Brooks full of spanners.
Is this something I should be considering picking up? Is there a certain price range or ceiling I should have in mind? This is at an estate sale... whether it makes it to the third day and has it's price slashed is all up to chance. It looks quite original aside from tires from what I can make out. It's definately seen better days. Front fender is a little tweaked but should be able to be corrected. Could use a good cleaning, work on getting rid of some light surface rust, and should have a good re-grease of everything. Most worried about hardware stripping and being able to find replacement items if need be.
Thanks for looking and would love to hear any comments or suggestions. Just looking to bum around on this a little in the neighborhood that is great for lazy rides or just quick runs to the grocery store.
