Not a real shopper without mudguards any more!

Stu I reckon that's pretty neat, you obviously have far more patience and skill than I do, nice job

I recall, longer ago than I care to remember, a roadie mate of mine turned up with an old folding shopper (from a skip) with a broken folding pivot and he wanted to fix it up for a park at the station bike.

We bolted it together and made a rear mudguard out of a discarded flooring panel. Great fun.

Just in case the shopper doesn't take to bike packing so well - why not make it into a picnic bike??!

I'd show that picnic thing to my wife as it would encourage her cycling... but she would demand I get her it immediately

Possibly to use with the dutch fancy basket/seat we got a while back!

The monster shopper sounds do-able, don't the new small fat-bikes have wee-but-fat wheels?

I used to built things like this (inc' this one) for a living, so I don't think a fat / monster shopper will be too tricky

Looks amazing - the original was in pretty good nick! Does it still have the internal hub gear or is it a single speed now?
Brings back fond memories of biking as a girl.

It's still a 3 speed Sturmey Archer but not the one it came with ... maybe you missed this?

Somebody already touring with an unsuitable bike. Look at the last photo in this link:
