First Bike Meet

Post by Dirkco » Tue Aug 14, 2012 2:56 am

Hello All,

I took my Rover bike to it's first and my first bicycle show and my son Deven entered it in the event. And he won an award for most original bike. Look at how excited he is...

Now that kind of excitement can be contagious!

Congratulations Dirk, you do indeed have a broad range of Rovers.

Give him another few years and he will be grinning from ear to ear when he shows it

Hi Dirk,
Well done for getting the award, your son certainly looks really excited!?! Good to see another bicycle in pretty original condition.

It looks fairly similar to mine, though the pump seems to be fitted in a different place - do you know what year yours is?
The headstock badge on mine seems to suggest that it is probably from 1923 0r 24.

Hi Paul,

I think my Rover bicycle is about the same age as yours. I can't find a clear picture right now but here is one of my 2 ladies bike. The later pictures I got on eBay a few weeks ago for few hundred pounds

This bike is mid teens vintage
