Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Maybe unwilling or unable to cut the struts?

Or not able to bend the L-bracket.

Or lost the will after realising how much money they dropped on what was going by the paint probably an already perfectly functional bike.

given this is the functional thread, surely the real problem is the tyres

A slight tilt will keep the cargo from sliding forward when you hit a bump and it was often how the legendary French porteurs had their's set up, in the golden age of carrying newspapers.

That's a sweet no nonsense bike

A dynamo hub + lights and a longer front mudguard to avoid road spray on the rack then it'd be perfect.

Those are cool AF pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed

This one sums up a lot of my feelings about riding bicycles

There are lights. Take a closer look

Wow I did not notice before - a testament to how well they have been integrated!

This is super smart. Do we have any more photos? What are those calipers?

Love the drivetrain

Inspiring. You can do everything on this bike. Chapeau.

Yeah it is one of them that just looks "right" without being flashy, probably a candidate for the N=1 bike.

and a level basket too.... ;-)
