Lee and Medic,
Doing exactly the things you recommended. Had myself measured and I need a 52 cm frame instead of the 54 that I thought. Looked at the Oxford and the Norco tonight. Had to tell them both no as one was too small and the other had too much rust on the frame. Found a his and hers matching set of Peugoet US Express bikes that I will be looking at tomorrow. Both have rear racks and fenders..., circa 88 or 89.
Medic, I am interested in the address of the bucket source. That was one of the motivating reasons for the trailer as I was going to place an ActionPacker or something similar for a lockable closure to keep skunks and mice out of the food / sweet smelling stuff and to create a table or chair.
Opinions on the Peugoet.
