Two REEAALLYYY old bikes

[hopless500]

Actually, a major deciding factor could be frame size. @CarlP - is it a biggy or a littly?

Its dangerous selling frames so badly rusted, but it looks like you dont care about others personal safety Lets hope no one gets injured and proceeds with suing you.

The frames may well be rusted, it may be surface rust.

What anyone who buys such a bike, or gets given, realises is may well crumble in their hands. There are however parts on every bike that make buying them worth it.

Some more pics. Does the lamp holder give us a clue to the identity of the gents bike.

I've had a little clean of the rear hub on the gents bike and can just make out a logo that says three speed gear, and the second one has a serial number.

Just found this on web

I can see the potential in the gents bike what are the pedals? rubber or wood

I don't think I have been rude to anyone on Cycle Chat, not seriously rude anyway, but in your case I'm quite prepared to make an exception, please go forth and multiply.

I'll measure, probably small, the lady that donated them is tiny, but then she is 102 (103 in May)

From the BB to the top of the seat post 21 of your imperial inches.

Hi I would be interested in the gents bike if its still available

 

[User32269]

The gents one would make a great project, but Mrs O would seriously injure me when I pitched up with it. Hope someone gets them rolling again.

It's yours if you want it, but you need to make arrangements to collect it.

Oooh. It's kinda my size then.
Oh dear. Did I see @Fab Foodie was visiting you soon? Could it accidentally fall into his car? ♡

You'd need to ask him, he's already collecting two, but if he can it's yours. Just to make it clear, if it isn't already, both these bikes need a lot of work to get them going.

Not much more work required to make them safe than when your average mail order £99 BSO arrives via courier, I suspect
