It may well be a Speedwell, that sort of rings a bell and the badge looks about right but the original photo isn't clear enough to tell and I'm really no expert on stuff like that.</p> <p>Glad you liked it!</p> Well that’s great—that was just a bike that I walked past in the street and I thought it looked pretty cool.

Never got a flat. It eventually succumbed to a reverse over in the driveway frame and rear wheel rooted.
