No, no, no!
I think, without being too rude, that you have completely the wrong end of the stick there mate.
That is NOT what we mean by "stick a bike engine in it".

Thats what i think.
The main tube is oval with tight radius's. It has a coventry-eagle badge on the front. I was gonna hack it about and make a chopper bike out
of it but if its anything reasonable i wont.
It has a front hub dynomo which i think is rare, theyr normally in the rear wheel with the sturmy archer.

We bought a couple of Chinese folding bikes last year to take camping. They are Derailleur geared but look like old shopper type bikes and we cover
miles on them no problem. That is a nice old example.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

We used to have a few different old raleigh's, I know that one was called an apple, and there was the classic chopper, can't remember what
the third was but it looks a lot like that.
