Another before and after!
This one is a Dawes Realmrider from the early 60s
Originally had Cyclo RD and drop bars as here:

Very nice paint and a cool head-badge.

But I had a pair of similar period wheels with Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub and I thought it might look better and be more reliable and usable with these and a pair of 'straight' bars.
As here:

The trigger was mounted on the stem because the clamp didn't quite fit the bars.
But works well there.
