The part you're referring to around 3:44 is a mount for a small child's saddle. Little footpegs were available for the lower frame tube. Used to see loads of these in the Netherlands :)

You need to do some T-shirt’s that say “ little bit of copper slip”.

Brilliant sympathetic restoration! I love it.
I live in Swindon I remember thousands of these bikes on the roads years ago.
With the most of the employees choosing to ride these bikes to the great western railway works.
A healthy low cost option for many people back then.
How times have changed.
Excellent video 👍

Sipping a coffee and watching this is wonderfully relaxing. Proper magic here, fantastic work.

Amazing to see the difference here! I'm really glad it didn't end up on the scrapheap. That chainring is beautiful.

Nice looking Humber! To me, the ‘west wick’ rims, steel mudguards and the pedals suggest it was once a townie. The drops are pretty accurate though! And the position of the SA pulley at the top of the downtube is spot on.

It’s a similar age to a 54 Raleigh Trent Sport I owned. That was more of a club bike so it had celluloid mudguards, quill pedals and drops.

Tip for the drive side cup (if you haven’t found a solution that is) is to bolt the spanner down to the cup. It ‘shouldn’t’ slip then and most of the time I’ve been able to tap the spanner with a hammer to free the cup.

Love the Humber crankset.

What transformation. Saddle looked as though it needed renewing. Many thanks.
