I've got an old postie bike in the shed, one with the kinked top tube as mentioned by vinyl villain. Bought it so I can put the dog on the front for holiday rides.
Anyway, got it as a project but LBS informs me that nothing on post bikes is standard size to deter thieves as replacement parts are nigh on impossible to get hold of.
If anyone fancies a challenge they can have it for nowt. Problems are:
Seat tube rusted into frame
Stem rusted into steerer
Headset bearings are down the cracks in my patio
BB Fucked and puller will not fit to remove cranks
Wheels seriously rusty and bent. Non standard size + rod brake rims required.
Other than that it's a beauty.
Would look like this if you had a lot of patience
