SUMMARY
Nicely restored 2 3/4 Royal Ruby.
DESCRIPTION
- The Ruby Cycle Company made bicycles initially and then motorcycles from 1909 to 1932
- The factory was firstly in Ancoats in Manchester, then from 1919 moved to Altrincham in Cheshire
- Considered in the day to be expensive compared the competition due to the company producing most of the components, apart from engines, in-house
- This c.1919 350cc example is likely to be a very early Altrincham-produced machine as can be seen from the crank cases and Druid forks
- Restored by a previous owner to its current condition and still fitted with its acetylene light kit
- A nice addition to any vintage collection
- Not currently registered and may need some light recommissioning before road use
- Registration of this bike will be the responsibility of the new owner
