Found it! You were right. Not that complimentary.

re. the Humber. Very nice but I fear it may be too small for me. :cry:
What is your height and inside leg please to compare?

That's what happens when mountain bikers used to sloppy slack HAs get on a razor sharp small wheel bike with wheels that weigh nothing. You need to get them spinning, and whatever you do, don't take your hands off the bars. :) They were obviously expecting a soggy commuter. On the other hand if you want to change direction quickly, you've done it before you've finished thinking about it. A pocket Ferrari rather than a monster truck.

As for the Humber, I'm 5'10 ½".

How do you measure an inside leg? Is it the middle one? If so that's personal but it's very long :)

If it's one of the side ones, about 31" according to my M&S breeks.
 
Re:

epicyclo,
your reference to the Humber having a key for a lock reminds me that my brother, when we were teenagers, was given a bike by one of our neighbours, an old couple who lived up the street. I seem to remember it having a lock on the fork near headset with a flat plate on headtube that the lock locked into. It was an old upright bike like the Humber, weighed a ton, with a chainguard too, and mudguards that were painted white at ends.

Were there other bikes of that era that had similar locks?

It was available mainly on the roadsters from the Raleigh group, such as Triumph, Raleigh, Rudge, Humber. My Rudge has one (but no key unfortunately)

I can't remember what others.
