1910 Ladies Ariel
Single speed, 22" frame, 28" wheels, Crabbe brakes.
A very original circa 1910 Ariel purchased on Ebay. Frame number 44964. The aluminium rims are an original fitment.
The Brooks ladies saddle is embossed with a pattern of flowers.
It even had the remains of the dress guard strings in place, although they had lost all colour, probably red and gold.
Very little of the coachlines are still visible, but they were originally two gold lines.
