Ian's 1970s Royce Union 10-speed

My old ten speed is a 1970’s Royce Union originally purchased someplace in upstate NY. I bought this a while ago from some man who insisted that all the parts are original. I can tell, because I tried putting some other pedals on it and the left one is rusted to the crank. Now I’ve one with a cage and one that’s half unscrewed. But that’s all just part of the old ten speed lifestyle, you know?

Ian brings up a good point, “…that’s all just part of the old ten speed lifestyle…” Amen.

Thank for the entry Ian.

    Looks just like my Royce Union 10 speed. Got mine about 1970, still rides great. Got my first Royce Union mid 1960s, prize for selling Christmas cards, a 3 speed.
