BSA 20
The latest addition to the stable: a 1970s BSA 20 shopper bike. The chrome is in great nick, though the bronze paint has a lot of scratches and chips, and is crazed in places from age. Everything in working order, a very comfy bike. The serial number on the frame starts NB7, which would indicate it was built in Nottingham during February 1977. However the date stamp on the Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub is 70, which means it was made in 1970! So either Raleigh were using NOS hubs in 1977, or someone has fitted an older hub to the bike at some point...
