1972 Supercycle "Made in England" 3speed
Another project bike purchased at the Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show. It's owner convinced me I should have it, and when he lowered his price to $50, I took the bait. AW hub stamped 72, original white wall "Coaster" tires (stamped Foreign?) some sort of leather saddle that says Birmingham and can make out a W (Wrights?) There is was enough oil on the rear rim to save it but the front is toast. Picked up one at the show $5 that is presentable. Stem is loose, haven't tried seatpost yet.
Supercycle bikes have a special meaning to me and others as we often rode them as kids.
