Dirt Disciple
G.A. Cycles (founder G. Astbury) is referred to on Classiclightweights as: "the South London shop of GA Cycles, an important pre war bicycle maker"
I have found some catalogues on Gracesguide and VCC Library.
Strangely enough I have not been able to find other GA bicycles online.
I wonder if there are any others left...
20" frame with Brampton fittings.
Framenumber on N/S side of BB: 3556 (year '35 - #56)
Reynolds HM double butted tubing, Russ type forks with very nice fork ends.
Wheels 597 K7 Sturmey 3 speed with quadrant changer, front an early Dynohub.
Brakes Resilion Cantilever.
Willams 5-pin detachable chainset on Brampton BB.
The GA 99 is the geared version of the GA 77. I am not sure if this one was sold as GA 77 and later upgraded with a 3-speed hub (as it is a K7) or if it was sold as a GA 99.
I took this one on a VCC ride in February, it is in a good riding condition (everything works fine) and it was a joy to ride. Unfortunately I have come to the conclusion it simply is too small for me :facepalm: (I am 5ft 11in)
If you know a good home for her, please drop me a line...
