This Ladies Sunbeam has had new wheels and tyres fitted and was in regular use when I purchased it last year.

The paintwork is in good condition and it’s a very attractive bicycle. The nickel plating is the best I’ve seen on a bicycle this old.

As you can see in the picture below, it’s the rarer three-speed model (though the gear control trigger fitted is a two-speed one, on the left side of the handlebars, above).

The saddle is a Brooks B73 with a patterned top.
