Should have known Pashley would have some isteresting offerings!

I really like this model, too - their "Delibike". I've seen many British bicycle catalogues from the 1950s which offer similar looking bikes. A great idea and a very cool look. The tubular steel front rack is rated for 25 kilos and the basket seems to be standard equipment. The Brooks saddle is an option. Sturmey Archer 3-speed with hub brakes front and rear.

The panel below the top tube was traditionally painted with a company's name since these were designed for making home deliveries from retail shops. I would probably have it painted with... well, something... in gold script and would definitely include an e-mail address - bet it would invite a lot of interesting responses.

The huge basket should easily handle all of my shopping needs. It would definitely be an eye-turner if I parked it in front of a local Supermarket or Walmart store!
