English SPEEDWELL bicycle 1960s

DESCRIPTION

Damned "Conserved" on the frame of the English Speedwell, model Rover 26. The small size of the vertical tube and the use of wheels with 26" rims make this bike ideal for a boy/girl or for an adult of medium-short height. The extended size of the horizontal tube and the sporty handlebars allow a riding posture that is quite pushed forward.
Characteristic is the amaranth tone of the livery, a red that has darkened over time and mixed with the brown tone of the metal. The white decorations on the head tube and fork, together with the writings that testify to the brand and model, relate well to the color of the tires. The honey-colored Brooks saddle and the fabric covering of the aluminum handlebar complete the color game.
