Veteran Rex with another unknown veteran
A very fuzzy but very old image. I can recognise the v-twin as a Rex, the unusual forks are a give away but the bike behind it I have no idea about.
Not completely sure. That curved down tube should be a giveaway. Ariels I have seen pictures of have a straight one. I haven't got a better suggestion though. Thanks for the comment.
I'd agree with Ariel - one was covered in issue 7 of 'Old Bike' magazine (1993). This had a Peugeot engine, the curved front tube, and was dated at 1906-08 by the author of the article.
Looks like Ariel

ReplyDeleteSounds convincing. Ariel it is then. Thanks for the input.
