"Rudge: A Timeless Legacy of Innovation and Artistry" Step into the world of Rudge, where history intertwines with art, speed, and craftsmanship. From the iconic Rudges Cycles Poster to the captivating Girls from Dalarna Having a Bath painting by Anders Leonard Zorn, Rudge captures our imagination. In 1911, Victor Surridge raced his way to victory on a powerful Rudge bike at the TT race. The thrill of speed and precision echoed through time. Just like Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece A Condottiere from 1480, which still mesmerizes us today. A replica Rudge bike takes us back in time as we imagine ourselves racing for six and three quarter laps around an exhilarating track. The 1925 Grand Prix poster reminds us of the glory days when Rudge reigned supreme on two wheels. With pride displayed on every corner, posters proclaiming "Rudge - Britain's best bicycle" and "Rudge Cycles" showcase their commitment to quality and excellence. The engine of a Rudge roars with power beneath its sleek exterior. Even literature pays homage to this legendary brand. In Charles Dickens' novel Barnaby Rudge, Newgate Prison becomes a backdrop for gripping tales that unfold within its walls. Silence is golden with a Davis Silencer attached to your trusty CJ13 2071 Rudge bike – ensuring smooth rides without disturbing the peace. Through artistry and engineering prowess, it has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. It continues to inspire generations who appreciate both beauty and performance in equal measure.
