British Bikes / Re: 1902 New Hudson

I'm late, but congratulations Leon! The bike looks and sounds wonderful. And you're the perfect keeper for it. :)

Regarding the other posting about spray carbs, Maybach did some good work with his invention. But Edward Butler had done his previously. He sometimes doesn't get the credit that he deserves.

ahh, I didn't even see that there were comments on that page.  I guess they solved it 9 months ago...  :)  A local friend has a similar ROC with long frame and curving top frame tube.  Not many of them exist anymore, but the ROC rear hubs were used by several different manufacturers.

I think that is a ROC.  They were made from 1904 to 1914, and Arthur Conan Doyle was an investor in the company.  Eventually they produced the Wall Auto Wheel, which is a bit better known than the ROC bikes.

Pete
