Antiques Roadshow Bicycle.

What a palava ~ That bike looks new pretending to be old ~ the saddle seems well sprung :~)
What fun Rosa, plenty of cameras ~ sufficient to tempt a scooter thief or two I'd imagine :~)
Nice shots and plenty of interest ~ Enjoy your weekend ~ Nick

I wouldn't like to say how old the bike is...I should have asked one of the experts ;-))
Got to chat with a couple of them and it really was a good and happy atmosphere. I'd like to see a scooter try and get past those crowds on the pier! You have a good weekend too Nick....Rosa.

Very nice find ! Thanks for showing, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich, my pleasure.

Enough room for E.T. in this basket !

Now that I would love to see ;-))

They certainly have all the fancy gear. My guess (based on the fittings) is that the bicycle is fairly new, though I'm no expert.

You could well be right. I wouldn't mind it myself. Just like the old butcher's bikes.

What were they doing, Rosalyn ?

This was on their website Christiane:

The Antiques Roadshow is where specialists in antiques and fine arts appraise items brought in by local residents, whether they are collectors looking to turn trash into treasure or ordinary folks hoping Grandma's old painting might be worth something. Items featured on the programme often have an interesting story attached to them or have some connection to that episode's venue. While some items that are brought in are worth a fortune, others are worthless.

It has been on the BBC for years and years ;-))

Lovely ancient bike with a smaller wheel in front !
All the best
Fabio

Just like the old butcher's bikes when they used to deliver to our home when I was a child :-)
All the best, Rosa.

Lovely restoration on this old bike... must have been borrowed from Open all Hours... ;-))
very interesting PiP.

Could well be John ;-)) My little dog would have loved rides in that basket...she didn't like walks very much! Thank you for your kind comments.

Very interesting !
Thanks a lot for the explanations, Rosalyn.
Have a nice Sunday !

That's OK Christiane. Have a great Sunday (:~))

Schitterende opname,Rosa en een zeer interessante pip.
De fiets is splinter nieuw,gezien aan de materialen die er aan gebruikt zijn.
Het BBC programma,word hier ook al jaren bekeken, en 2 jaar geleden hebben ze zelfs opnamen gemaakt in Maastricht (Nederland,)
Leuk dat jij er bij was en ons de foto,s liet zien.
Hartelijke groeten......Frans.

Thank you Frans, I am pleased you find them interesting. It was a great day out for me, not knowing they were going to be there. I think I remember the one from Maastricht. They have made recordings in Australia also. I thought the bike was a good prop :-)
Best wishes, Rosa.

Great shot of the butchers bike Rosa. It reminds me of Granville in the TV comedy Open all Hours;-'))

All the best, Doug

Yes me too Doug. Don't see many about these days. Thanks for your very nice comments.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Füsun,

Thank you for your lovely comments.

Two great shots, Rosa, must get me one of them cameras though! Enjoy the rest of your week...Regards, Bill,..YS

I can imagine you with one of those cameras Bill...there would be no stopping you ;-))
Best wishes, Rosa.

Bemerkenswert großer Weidenkorb.

They used to deliver meat from the local butchers in one like this when I was young :)
