HELP PLEASE ??
 
Hello my name is Delia Chapman.  I'm a antique and vintage bicycle collector from Belfast Northern Ireland.
 
I purchased this Victoria Standard model ladies bicycle in 2016
Frame number U 11015.
 
She's in a bit of a rough state unfortunately and I'm currently working to restore her but wish to keep the paint as original as possible to save the transfers. 
The mudguards no longer have any paint so will be power coated and the frame is going to be clear coated to protect it for future years to come.
 
I'm personally not a fan of full restorations I prefer to keep them as original as possible. I'm only begrudgingly painting the mudguards.
 
She even still has her original Edinburgh pneumatic tyre company tyres!
 
 
She is fitted with a back pedal coaster brake and a rod roller front brake.
 
I have enclosed images of her for you to view.

This is the bicycle in its now restored form.

I believe the bicycle is pre ww1 and most likely the late 1900s (1907-10)

The paint and frame decals are the original.

The forks, Rear seat post stay and mudguards have been powder coated as the original paint was completely gone in those locations.

I found a perfect match for the original red and black pair twist twine skirt guard.

I also sourced a correct varnished fabric chain guard as the original was too far gone.

I also sourced a period rear rack and rear reflector.

She is also fitted with period oil lamps.

Considering the bicycle was found in a barn with a leaky roof I think she has cleaned up well and retains alot of originality.
