πŸš΅β€β™‚οΈ Vintage 1970's Tru-line Eaton's Glider Bicycle πŸš΅β€β™‚οΈ

πŸ”₯This is a vintage Tru-line Eaton's Glider bicycle.πŸ”₯Made in England. The bike was sold through the Canadian department store chain Eaton's and was manufactured by Raleigh. It is a 3-speed bike, and many of the original parts, including the Sturmey Archer hub, are still present. The specific model in the image is a women's version technically. The bicycle in the image has a step-through frame, which is a design traditionally associated with women's bicycles. However, anyone can ride a bicycle with a step-through frame, and they are also popular for their ease of mounting and dismounting. Product: Vintage Eaton's Glider bicycle Type: 3-speed cruiser bicycle Manufacturer: Raleigh (for Eaton's) Availability: These vintage bikes are no longer in production, but they can sometimes be found for sale on online marketplaces and through vintage bicycle enthusiasts. Historical Aspect: Founded in 1869 by Timothy Eaton, the T. Eaton Company revolutionized Canadian retail with its cash-only policy and "Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded" guarantee. It became a national icon with the introduction of its famous mail-order catalogue, reaching countless Canadians in both urban and rural areas. For over a century, Eaton's was a dominant force in Canadian commerce, shaping the retail landscape and leaving a lasting legacy, including the popular Eaton Centre shopping malls, before closing its doors in 1999. T. Eaton Company is the same retail chain that developed the Eaton Centre shopping malls in various Canadian cities. The most famous of these is the Toronto Eaton Centre, built on the site of the company's original store. The malls were named after the company that built them. Timothy Eaton (T. Eaton) was the founder of the T. Eaton Company Limited, a prominent Canadian department store chain. An Irish-born Canadian businessman, he founded the company in Toronto in 1869. He is known for pioneering several retail innovations, including selling goods for a fixed, cash-only price and offering a "Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded" policy. I will try to obtain a seat for this bike, ideally, of pertinent proportion, era, & style. This is also an investment, with age, like cheddar, it improves its' taste, obviously stored appropriately, otherwise earthy mold occurs lol πŸ˜† 😜 As-is, where-is, in stalwart condition πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘ 😎 and ready to impress your pals!
