so i'm reading Full Tilt: From Ireland to India with a Bicycle by Dervla Murphy and i've done some searching here and seen lots of people recommending it, lots of fans, etc., but what i haven't seen is a place to go to see a picture of her bike. surely there are pix of roz somewhere on the internet...anyone?

I think there are pictures of her bike in either ukimwi road or south from the limpopo, but I'm fairly sure it's a different bike to roz.

I don't think Dervla has quite embraced the internet yet.

i actually work for the publisher, so tracking her down shouldn't be too hard. i'm really baffled by the jacket they chose for the book though. it's pretty and all, but doesn't really work with what's inside.
anyhow, i'll see what i can find, and if there's a reprint, maybe we can do something about that jacket.
