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.

Nice. And I agree with Sinbad!
Good Morning Sinbad and you. 1 in the boot (trunk?),2 on the front porch, 3 in the bike shed, 1 under the house in a plastic paddling pool shell.Nope, I just don't have the room! I would love a double garage,though.
cheers,
oh Ms Herder, it was such a beautifu bike. Just look at that Brooks saddle and that lovely head light. And lets face it, $200 won't even get you a new Brooks saddle these days!
$200! I think my eyes are starting to tear up! There are times I just want to move east!
Dear BB, whenever you have those thoughts,just remember,non stop ,365/24/7 AFL coverage,taxis and four seasons in one day!
cheers.
I would have bought it. That's a great looking bike.
