On the theme of functional 'foxes, here's my 1986 courier loaded up for a trip last week (London > Cambridge to visit my parents while avoiding the trains). ('scuse the bins in the back. I planned on taking some nicer photos during the ride but it ended up sharting it down so this is all I've got)
A few upgrades since the last time I posted it here: brookes saddle & carradice nelson w/ bagman adapter, because I want to pretend I'm in the rough stuff fellowship. Front rack to replace the stays that came with the wald basket. Handlebars & stem are temp replacements while I search in vain for some bullmoose bars, after the original bars got squished by a van while locked up. Replaced the rear derailleur with a cheapish new shimano one and super happy with the improved shifting, even if it looks a bit wack.
Been doing some lovely long towpath / 'gravel' rides on it since lockdown began. It's not fast but it's sooo comfy and fun to take off road.
