A Footscray Ariel Cycle

This Ariel Cycle sold on Ebay was built at the Footscray Ariel Cycle Factory.

Date - unsure, but believed to be 1950's. The cycle has an attractive and quite elaborate colour scheme, as shown in the detail photographs. No front brake, only the Eadie coaster brake on the rear wheel.

My thanks to Darren Austin for the pictures and to Ray Blucher for the original Ebay pictures, the bottom three below.
