1953 Rudge Sports 3- Speed - 21"

Ready to be gone through and put back on the road, or awesome bike decor🤙 I purchased this amazingly original bike from it's original owner, who got it when he was 10. It is rideable but not the smooth rider it should be as it has sat with zero maintenance for a few decades. I got the 3- speed hub going smoothly, and the brakes still stop it, just roughly. I have not been able to get the lights working off the front dyno, I don't know if it's wiring, the bulbs, or the dyno needing attention, just an fyi. It's basically a Raleigh, made in the same factory. Comes with the original factory owners manual, super rare Brooks leather tool bag with all original tools, and some spare rear lights. There's a small tear in the 73-year-old B66 Brooks saddle by one of the front rivets, not noticeable unless you're looking really, both the bag and the seat have been given a Proofide Brooks leather treatment on the underside to start getting some of its suppleness back. The price is firm at this time, cash, Venmo, or Zelle, thanks for looking!
