I have a new bicycle. It is based on the very latest in Edwardian era technology. It features a single-speed drive train, and barely functional brakes.
It is slow, heavy, anachronistic, and somewhat ludicrous. I myself am slow, heavy, and ludicrous, so I think we should be very happy together.

Congrats. I have two new bicycles, both single speeds as well. But I’m guessing that together, they still weigh less than that beast. Sweet chainguard though.

She needs a Carradice bag. I wonder where you might find one?

She’ll be sporting my Camper Longflap just as soon as the new seatpost arrives from Harris. The stock seatpost is only about 6 inches long, and I can’t get the saddle high enough to really ride it yet.
