Does anyone know what this is? I cant find anything written on it not even a serial number! Not sure if the paint is original either, although it matches the seat so who knows! It has a sturmey archer 3 speed twist shift with AW 66 6 on the hub which i presume means its a june 66. Wheels are 20 inch and the top tube on the frame is bowed. The mud guard has a raised bit on it   |

Be nice to know what the mystery bike is though, looks like it could be an interesting project.

Looks like the bike in this vid at 3mins 32s. Not that that'll help you identify the bike.

Ive seen that film before :-) dont think mines that bike tho although i see where your coming from with what looks like a "bent" frame.
So far ive been told it could be any of the following:
Elswick
Vindec
Hercules
Hudson
although im really not sure its any of them, quite a few have the same style mudguard but none have the twist/grip shift gears. The mystery continues.......
