Hey folks,

I just got a 1965 Armstrong 26" 3speed Sturmey Archer rear hub. I was wandering if anyone knew anything about these bikes or what it maybe worth? It also has a bell I found to be rather unique. On the bell it has printed on it "ASPICE CHRISTOPHORUM ET TUTUS VIAM CARPE" . I had to clean it up a little to read, used Alex's tutorial on cleaning rust from rimns, and still can't figure out what that means.

Any help would be appreciated,

Bill

Good maintenance to your Bike, can make it like the wheels are, true!

Cool find! Don't know much about the bike, but apparently the bell says "Look at St Christopher and travel on safely" according to this post

Alex,

Thank you very much for finding that. Also bookmarked that site as it is very interesting. I think tomorrow I am gonna do a little more research on the bike itself and maybe restore it. For take care and great weekend to you.
