Hi I’ve purchased a ladies shopper bicycle it’s stamped on the sturmey archer hub as October 1978 , there is no detailing marks , no headbadge , an all steel bicycle I purchased it off gumtree and paid very little money I fell in love with it straightaway , but she had a. Few problems bad tyres bad paint job someone had tried to paint her with a brush and made a very bad job so I had her fully restored a strip down sand blast full powder coat with the original paint of 1970s bright orange she looks great it cost me an arm and a leg and I’ve customisrd her with tassels, wing mirrors, spokey dokeys ,lights reflectors, new basket , but she’s missing her identity I’ve looked at hundreds of these bikes and maybe have her whittled down to maybe an o brien I have no idea I need help to identify her .
