Triumph 1 speed (1974?) info wanted.
Yesterday I was given a Triumph ladies 1 speed. It's blue with a blue and white seat and small white grips. I don't think it was originally a 3 speed but I ran across a picture of a '71 3 speed with the same colours. The wheels are 26".
Anyone know how to date this bike? It has bike licence stickers (Burnaby BC Canada) from '74 & '75. It's also got a decal from Fred Deeley Cycles.
It's a nice bike and I rode it to work today. Had to. Someone swiped the back wheel off my Bauer 18 speed!

I don't know if it has the original hub, but SA hubs have a stamped date on them, a few were sold with 1 speed coaster hubs, don't know anything about those. It is a Raleigh built bike, the same as a Raleigh, Rudge, BSA Sports etc, but without the fancy headbadge. The design lives on in denmark and Holland ( sold only as a Raleigh) and are quite common there and in other civilized nations where people actually use bicycles as transportation
if you what some info on these bikes
