It looks like there are wires coming out of it like a battery

ely-looking, if somewhat battered Rudge Sports Tourist (?) for £50 in Halifax on muppetplace - as I understand it these are essentially the same as the Raleigh Sports Tourist of the same era, with a different fork and that lovely burgandy paint. I keep an idle eye out for these as I'd love one as a town-wafter; thankfully this one is a bit too far away to represent a threat to my already diminished shed space..

Do you mean this one @Always Cross ?

If so if I am right it's a battery storage cylinder so the dynamo lights stay on when stationary

What is that round thing on the down tube on the sport tourist in Wafters post I’ve seen a few of them now but don’t know what it is.

Pipe bomb; lest one should encounter a belligerent Tesla driver or other road-foe...

 

[Always Cross]

I wonder what batteries would go in there.

Dawes Supergalaxy, Truro (FB), £160. Looks like a pretty late one; bonuses are the STIs running a triple and arguably the brooks-esque leather saddle, not sure about that fat downtube's effect on ride though. Seems to be a smallish frame with a disproportionate stem and bars so a smaller rider would probably want to replace these with something more compact. Regardless, looks like a great budget tourer or utility hack for very little money

Cheers - sadly that's probably for the best

Aye; difficult to tell with the slopey top tubes. I'd reckon on the smaller end of "medium" maybe..
