I have not looked at the ebay sale yet. I was telling my Dad, that those Speedwells are hard to find.

To be honest if I knew he was just going to rip the rims off I probably wouldnt have sold it to him.

Having said all that the Speedwell transfers are a later (1940s?) type than the 1938 variety, which had a much larger, and longer name in block letters (not slanted) which covered nearly half the downtube. Does anyone know when the later ( slanted) lettering came in?

I inquired about getting it back but it seems it may already be sold .Torana68 wrote:wonder if he still has the other bitslilcuda wrote:The popular was mine until a couple of weeks ago .Buyer said he was going to turn it into his beach commuter .What it looked like before

Hopefully if it has its to someone on here who can put it back together , hopefully if they see this they can ask him about the rims , they may well be on the other bike .

I dont think its a Speedwell... its been repainted and not by Speedwell so the paint work is of no help if it were (nothing on there is a transfer, its all sprayed via stencills)

The bike was left unrestored AND unridden waiting for a proper resto which I am glad has happened .

Apparently selling an unrestored bike qualifies one as an idiot .

From memory the person currently selling on Fleabay bought from the person you sold to?lilcuda wrote:Apparently selling an unrestored bike qualifies one as an idiot
Nonetheless, poor form to insult the previous owner in an Evilbay ad.

You would see in my original listing that the bike was listed as a project bike .
