Cyclemaster
Classic Cycles
Back in those austere postwar years when the
overwhelming majority of new vehicles were immediately
exported to help Great Britain recover from
the War, there was a shortage of commercial
delivery vehicles. That's when the Mercury Cycle
Company, in conjunction with Cyclemaster Ltd,
brought out the Cyclemaster Roundsman 32cc Delivery
Bicycle.
Cyclemaster Ltd was owned by EMI, and they
published quarterly magazines devoted to the
Cyclemaster. Every issue of the Magic Wheel
is reproduced in full on the Cyclemaster Museum
website; they provide a fascinating insight
into motoring in the 1950s.

All-Steel Bicycle. It has a genuine accessory
Sturmey Archer front brake, which is more
powerful than normal bicycle brakes.
The Raleigh All Steel Bicycle was one
of the most popular models in the sixties,
and is suited to motorization because
it is such a well-built frame.The All
Steel model was made until 1960 and was
exported all over the world.
