Martin's description of the bike he's selling brought to mind a couple of questions regarding Armstrong bikes. I was under the impression that they were a brand that Raleigh used for selling less expensive bikes. Yet it seems from Martin's description that 1) there were some nicer Armstrong bikes, and 2) perhaps they weren't always a part of Raleigh. In fact, my first derailleur bicycle was an Armstrong, circa 1965. The frame looked great and was actually relatively light, considering that it was built from really ordinary tubing. The parts, of course, were a different story - heavy steel wheels, Phillips brakes and Huret Alvit derailleurs. Be that as it may, the bike was attractive enough to attract a thief, despite the use of a substantial lock. Anyway, what is the real story of this marque?
