Oh yes,

 

I still have my secondary modern school Gazelle bike from 1967 =E2=80=93 ol=
der than my BGT! 

And it is equipped with a Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub.

50 years ago I went with this bike on holidays to Germany, Luxemburg and Be=
lgium. Covered 1200 KM=E2=80=99s in two weeks =E2=80=93 nothing failed.

In all these years only the front wheel went bust due to mistreatments by f=
ellow school guys.

It also has a leather Brooks saddle. 

Rides great still.

 

Cheers,

Hans

   Max=E2=80=99s Chinese-built British-name bike response made me curious. =

 as bicycle manufacturers, Brooks still making saddles, and a host of compo=

   My wife=E2=80=99s bicycle, kept from junior high school years, is a Rale=
