wool knickers
As far as the trailer is concerned...when did Cannondale start making the Bugger? It would be vintage and it came out about that time. Going to be a major trick to find one of those monsters. I had one back in the mid 90's. As far as the rims I would seriously consider using
Alloy Rims for safety as well as durability. The original steel were very durable but left a lot to be desired in the stopping department and you are going to be fully loaded.

Basket, yes - seems perfect for the time period. Knickers, no ( good way to get hurt in a lot of cities ) Rims, yes - I consider myself warned on steel, but does seem a shame. I googled Cannondale bugger. Extremely interesting but doesn't seem right somehow. We'll probably go with authentic backrack and bungee some neat English something but that wont be enough. Looks like I will have to "bikepack" some of the gear,... I see a lot of that in pictures even today in Britian.
So I can get a complete authentic light set from you, Mr. North Carolina? Let me know the details please, sounds great. Where to go to find a proper rack for back? I think Kurt mentioned the name of brand somewhere.
Truthfully, I think I might have bitten off more than I can chew here. Anyone want to give odds for a trip from San Diego to St. Augustine then home to Greenville?
