Brooks Model B75 Ladies saddle with patterned top

Sunbeam patent rear carrier rack

The 1933 Ladies’ Golden Sunbeam is in very good condition, with original paintwork and box lining, plus the original Sunbeam transfer (decal) on the chaincase and steering head.

The world at this time was suffering from a worldwide recession and in 1933 the company offered this economy model Golden Sunbeam with single speed. It still retained the unique handlebar grips that unscrew to reveal a tyre repair kit. As you can see, this example has that original feature. It also has a patterned ladies’ Brooks saddle, though the pattern is a bit worn, presumably from previous owners sitting on it. A nice accessory (and quite rare to find these days) is the rear carrier rack, which is Sunbeam’s patent model.

This rare Sunbeam is fully functional and ready to ride.
