About Me
- the Slow Schlepper
- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- Having spent most of my working life at sea, as a sailor in the merchant marine,I have recently come ashore for a second go as a land lubber.The first time I was retrenched due to the GFC and I went back to sea on the Bass Strait ferries .Three years later,here I am. My job as a cargo super involves a company car and a small amount of driving around, which I try to keep to a minimum. This blog is my view of the world from the saddle and also a diary of my passion for old, steel framed French treadlies.

Phooaarr - Pashley porn!
That Guvnor looks like the one with the wizzy 2-speed hub & coaster brake, where you kickback to change gear & a bit more to brake - no cables :>)
LRBB The Guvnor had a pretty weird set up with a very small chain wheel and a tiny freewheel. Something's going on but I don't know what it is.

I was just about to post you the link to their 'site Ian, but it seems that they have dropped the model.
It looks like a Guvnor Plus 4. The other 2 speeds came from that small chainwheel - something called a 'SpeedDrive'.
Bizarre but very cool looking all the same!
It looks like they still do the single speed & AW3 hubbed models.
I know what you both mean.Too many beautiful bikes,not enough time,money and space. My top three dream bikes are
1) Bullitt
2) Peugeot PX10
3) Moulton.
what do you reckon?
