Default Bicycle I.D.

Hi Keith,
May I suggest that this particular bicycle could date from as early as WW1 or just after. As Martin has spotted it has a rear hub brake,if you take this apart, you should find the BSA logo inside on the brake shoes. Many years ago I had a similar machine, which folded,with a central tube running from the cross bar down to the bottom bearing housing. As you have already stated, they are heavy, so to have a folding varient and have to carry it means these guys must have been built like an carthorse! I'll see if I can find the pictures, and drawings of it.
Cheers
Keith
