1900 Rudge-Whitworth No 23 Special Lady’s Bicycle

Though the frame number 123911 reveals this Rudge to be of 1900 manufacture, the front rim brake on it was an optional extra in 1901, fitted for no extra charge. As it was the first year the company offered it, I assume this example was sold in 1901 rather than 1900. Earlier models had fixed wheel with a front plunger brake that acted directly onto the front tyre.

The machine is in excellent all round condition and ready to ride.
