hi i fogot to say the runwell is a ladies cycle..i have had a look on the net..the bike has a cast iron crank tube/frame tube..where the bottom bracket fits.and also numbers are cast into the iron..it was made before 1930.as 1930 they put a extra bar in the frame,and in 1927 they stoped using cast iron in their cycle frames...so the other frame joints may also be cast iron?the brooks b2 seat is stamped ladies seat so all matches

i will ask the guy...it has solid tyres on it and its has very large wheels on it so i dont think its a childs one..the brakes are rods not modern cables..its chain driven,colour is blue frame red mud guards,and you sit in the middle of the bike.peddles are in the middle not on the front wheel like kids
