Humber Cycle 1935-1950

This Humber Cycle was initially going to be upcycled for an outside flower display as you often see outside pubs and restaurants, however, after doing a great deal of cleaning I discovered that the majority of its parts were in fairly good shape and so I have restored the Humber Cycle to a good standard. Much of the Chrome work on the rims, handlebars, brakes was compromised beyond repair and so I have spray painted these parts. The Humber Cycle is fully functional and has the original Michelin tyres which are no longer manufactured. if you wanted to purchase this Humber Cycle with the intention of riding it you would have to replace the rims, inner tubes and tyres for safety. The dynamo and lights are original but not wired, all the parts are on the Humber. The saddle is original leather with trademark, however, there is a tear in the saddle if you wished to use the Humber Cycle to ride you would need to have this repaired.

Humber Cycle uses

I think this restored/upcycled Humber Cycle would suit an upmarket bar, restaurant, winery as a mounted wall feature or an advertisement platform in a shopping centre or window display, I think it is too good to place outside exposed to the weather. PRICE 180.00 Euro. e-mail info@oldcastlemeath.com
