So after my normal bike got trashed and I chickened out of restoring my raleigh i needed a bike, so my mum lent me her 1980s raleigh cameo and i became hooked on 3 speeds. so i took a chance and bid on a Royal Enfield bike on ebay and won.
The Sturmey Archer hub makes it 1978 and other than the fact its blue and has a bell on it with Dougal from the Magic Roundabout I cant really tell you much more about her. after a clean up and air in the tyres its pretty perfect really. i need to at some point replace the springs on the calipers but it runs nicely. my plan is to restore it properly once ive finished with 'cinders' my raleigh restoration.

( Ive not worked out how to post pictures here yet - so you can find photos here)
If anyone has any clues on the model or anything with this bike I would be most grateful. there are some degraded decals on it that I cant make out!.
