Someone called round earler and brought this with them. It had been used at ICI for the engineers to get about on before it was 'rescued'. It sports a 3 speed hub gear, drum brakes and plenty of luggage space :)

I'm wondering whether borrowing it might make the basis of a good adventure ... although I doubt it would be a long one

You could set up a barbeque in the front carrier :D

I do like the addition of the rollie for that added Steptoe & Sons look :)

those old bike are all the rage in London these days.

In germany there were hundreds of cargo carrying bikes for getting around the shipyard with a lump of steel and some tools.
