1953 Rudge
Just checking what the worth on this bike is? Stored in a garage most of it's life. No signs of rust, but the paint has faded with age.
But, it's also not all original.
The handle bars have been swapped out
The front fender has been trimmed up (original goes down quite a bit)
New pedals (they're probably still vintage since they were replaced so long ago)
New brakes (also look vintage, but I was given the old ones in a coffee tin)
Fenders and chain guard have been painted grey. Looks great in the photos, but up close it looks a little like an unprofessional job.
Original brooks saddle, has an STP indent from a sticker that was there.
Bell has what I would refer to as a "sexy" panda. Not sure the date or value.
Not looking to sell. I love riding this thing. Just wondering what the actual monetary worth would be.
