It was a nice evening for a ride, so I took out this old Phillips roadster. It has the classic "old style" roadster feel: tall and a little "clunky", with plenty of heft on the frame and big wheels. The gallows seat post makes it ride even a little more upright, in that old style. The rod brakes are the old-style type without offset pads, and with the side-mount Phillips bell crank system.
It's not exactly a quick bike, but it's comfortable, stable, and it has that old-style feel you look for in a roadster of this sort. It's pretty good looking too.
