F W Evans (Beam 'S') c.1937/8
Owned by: Michael Townsend
My 1937/8 F.W.Evans and I think
from the catalogue that it was a model called the Beam (S type as it
has a Sturmey). I bought it from a V-CCmember via the ubiquitous eBay.
The only changes I have made are the pedals, clips and straps (they
were Lyotards) and the saddle (was a Wrights). Oh and I added the old
Carradice bag.
