Time to pull this thread up by it's bootstraps...
This beautiful Dutch girl stopped by my shop today and she is English powered... by a Sturmey Archer 4 speed (alloy hub shell). Her owner said that he bought this for his girlfriend in Holland after the war (1946) when bicycles became available and then he and his wife (the girlfriend) emigrated to Canada.
He said it has been sitting in his garage ever since she passed away in 2009 and now he is looking to find this girl a new home.
The condition is astounding and she rides as new.
