Beautiful bike! Let us see it when it is fixed!

Rugby- A couple of guys in my dorm in college used to play this. One of them, although he was American had somehow been in a British-run boarding school in Africa where he got the idea that it's great fun to go out in a field with some other guys and kick each other! I'll stick with biking.

It sure appears to be the same from many of the details. Yours is in much better condition though. This one needs to be sent off to the Chrome Shop.
