A vintage Universal Sport folding bicycle featuring a step-through light-blue painted steel frame with a central folding hinge. The bicycle is equipped with approximately 20-inch wheels fitted with white-walled pneumatic tyres and features a Sturmey Archer 3-speed internal gear hub. This model retains several original-style period features including high-rise chrome-plated handlebars with white plastic grips, a white vinyl-covered saddle, and matching white metal mudguards. The frame is marked with universal in a stylized block font with a red horizontal line detail on the main and lower tubes. The partial chain guard features a decal with the word Sport in red cursive script and 3 SPEED below it, alongside a Sturmey branding decal. The bicycle is fitted with a rear luggage rack and side-pull rim brakes. A blue plastic-coated cable lock is currently attached to the frame.
