New project, old bike.
Needed a pub/shopper/cargo bike that wouldn't be nicked or stripped of parts when left outside so got this 1950s Pashley Postman's bicycle. It's my first singlespeed and frankly is sucks not being able to change up to a higher gear but it rides pretty well. Bearings are all still smooth but the headset needs tightening and for that I need to find/make an imperial headset spanner...
I fitted a new saddle, otherwise it's complete and original but I will fit new tyres as these ones are well past it.
I love the rack, very useful for stuff and even strong enough for passengers!
Found an old wine box that will be perfect for cargo carrying.
