Thanks, but RU is a trade mark that was created in 1904, which sells Taiwan, Japanese, Dutch, British, Austrian bikes. It's not a manufacturer.I believe it is 1955-57.

One of the cycle's interesting points is its propstand with the two bolt mount. Have not before encountered a two bolt mount propstand. Is it perchance marked with a name?
You inquired as to dating. Might try demounting saddle to see if there are any markings on its underside. Sometimes a date or other information can be found here.
The cycle's gear mech is an aid to dating. Some information on the models can be found here:
