Description
Extremely rare and original condition of the Rudge English high wheel. It is a sports machine modeled on racing specials with a seat mounted directly on the backbone. Detachevable handlebars (specialty just manufactured by Rudge) have no traces of the brake lever. The bike was actually made without a front brake. According to serial number 36196 and a comparison with the register of preserved Rudge machines, it is possible to determine the year of manufacture 1887.
