1914 Golden Sunbeam 28″ Gentleman’s Bicycle with Three Speeds (Hub Gear)
I purchased this large-framed Sunbeam from Christine. Her husband had been secretary of the local Rolls Royce Club until he passed away in 1999, and this bike, being his regular mount, was the only one of his vintage bicycles that she had retained.
The three-speed rear hub can be seen below. Although not named in the catalogue, I believe they were manufactured by BSA.
The gear trigger for the three speed is a unique design. Compare it with the illustration in the catalogue.
