the Slow Schlepper
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.

A bit too trendy for my taste... I bet there's plenty of folk who'd get excited about this one though.
G'day David J.
I must admit that the gold cranks and chain were guilding the lilly!

Looks fantastic, Ian. I like the position of your brake levers (which I hadn't noticed in the previous post). I would imagine it feels very stable and in control whilst braking. My single speed has the levers in the narrow space at the top of the bar either side of the stem which really doesn't give anything like the control I would like!
Guilding the Lilly! Ha! Nice one!
;)
BB: the levers are Tectro inverse and come from Velo Orange. I have them on 4 of my bikes as they are super comfy and quite elegant to boot.
David J: this bike is of no practical use at all other than cycling for the pure ,simple joy of it.
Lovely head badge!
Peace :)

Thanks,Chandra. I particularly like the'Frenchness'of the Peugeot graphics as well.
