I am very excited to be getting a new bicycle – albeit one that is about 60 years old. She is simply beautiful; a Rudge Ladies Roadster.

She is now being stripped, sorted, retyred, basketted and relit at the wonderful Common Wheel, which I’ve written about years ago here. Buying a bike in such a place is  life-affirming pleasure.

Here she is. I will post a new picture when she’s ready.
