Blimey. A pair of shorts, liquorice paper roll up hanging on your bottom lip, socks up to your knees, no one would know.

Mine was not like that,it weighed more than a Centurion tank.I hated the second delivery in Shadwell,first delivery you got taken to the start via a van,second delivery the bloody bike.That 'walk' Ash Hills i loved it,i was so fast a Royal Mail top knob,who lived there asked our delivery office manager if i could be put on it full time,he was told no,it had it's own postman.In those days you stayed on your 'walk' as long as you liked.

I love mine. A wonderful workhorse that I picked up for free. Needed a bit of work but not too much. I'm not sure the mid 20th Century title from the auction house is particularly accurate though.

Used one on my first duty for several months until about this time in 2010, such heavy bikes, not a bike for hills unless you're a strong cyclist!
