Maybe it’s because it’s a cheerless December day and I’m thinking of endless sunshine and picnics and wicker hampers and lashings of lemonade and English, English cream, but I’ve spent far too much time today looking at this: velorution.com/brands/pashley-countryman-burgundy.htmlOnly I’d prefer mine in Dusk Blue, please. Similar to Humph’s idea of showing up the baggy crowd at Llandegla, I reckon this is actually an athletic enough machine to burn off a few dawdlers in the lanes round here. Tweed jacket, brogues and flat cap (sold separately) would do just fine in either case. Or maybe I should go straight for the Schindelhauer instead. That, urbane as it is, is also a genuinely modern bike, rather than a Roberts Revival on wheels. As the title says, Humph’s fault.

Love it! And it's steel, so it should be able to cope with your, erm, needs...

...eyeleted rims as well (well double eyeleted really).
"Featuring high quality 6106 alloy and double eyelets, this 25 mm wide rim is perfectly adapted to today's 'heavier' trekkers and tourers. It is strong, durable and allows the use of tyres up to 50 mm, and waists up to 100cm".
Should just about be OK.

...and you didn’t make even a tiny little bit of that up...?

Translated from the French on the Mavic website. Has it lost (or gained) something in the translation?

I see they have a "Roadster Classic" left in my size at what is actually not a bad price...could just about see that in my collection.
I sort of hate you a bit at the moment WDB, it'll pass, but just to make you aware...
