- 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.

Hey there, it looks good.
I'm still tossing up if I do the same thing. Did you pull the two halves apart for the powder coating job? It looks like it might be a simple 'C' clip that holds it all together.
Where did you get it done? Was it pricey?
Cheers, I'll enjoy watching this.
Hi Max V. The photo really doesn't do it justice.It's much blue-er and shiny-er in real life. The two halves don't come apart~there is a permanent pin in one side. In the other side is a locking pin and bolt which screws up hard against the flange plate and then a lever and cam locks the whole thing REALLY tight. I have been riding it around the city and it feels nice and solid. Will fit the mud guards this weekend agw. Need them for sure at this time of year!
Huw at Commuter Cycles arranged the powder coating.Cost was $150 and I'll also apply the decals this weekend.
cheers,
A beaut - looks better than new :>)
Thanks Ian. It's all up and going and will post some photos soon. Fits nicely in the boot which allows me to park out side of the city and ride the rest of the way in.
cheers,
