I've been eyeing this bike off for quite a while now.A rattle can spray job,a cheap basket from the 2 dollar shop and a whole lot of loving attention to detail.I'm giving this one 5 stars.

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.

The attention to detail it what does it for me. Neat job.
Hi there,Sinbad and you. As you say,it's all in the detail.I've just been looking at a book called 'Custom Bicycles' and the detail is mouth watering. I would love to attend the NAHBB expo one of these days.
Being a bit of an arm chair traveller,I'm enjoying your posts as you travel.
cheers,
Ian
It gets 5 stars from me too.... Always nice to see that someone has at least made the effort....

G'day Trevor.This bike has been parked outside a large back packers hostel for the last few months so I suspect it belongs to a traveller who picked it up on the cheap. I was particularly impressed by the hand painted cranks!
