This Gentlemen’s Dursley Pedersen is in superb condition throughout, apart from being a bit muddy from where my friend has been riding it; it also needs new saddle springs, which I’ll fit next week (see the originals further down the page).
The aluminium Lea Francis patent pedals and the felt grips were both upmarket accessories and are particularly attractive. The machine was restored by Dave Watts (known as ‘The Sunbeam Doctor’) around 20 years ago and is still in good shape. The ivory and agate embellishment fitted to the top steering head nut was also made by Dave – it prevents a rider being damaged by the nut should he lurch forward while riding!
