Elephant bike

Permission granted. Ordering in the morning :-)

Is the wire front basket removable? It makes sense to order it with the bike. I presume the rear pannier racks are fairly standard in size.

Now that's a bike purchase you won't forget in a hurry...

I herd that too.

If I purchase a Nellyphant bike, will I be able to cycle this fast? Or do I need some red panniers?

Also, I want the Plastic box as I'm a practical cove and Mrs FF prefers a basket .... so for an extra £12, you can have both!

Had a chat with the lurvely Georgie at Heffalump bikes today (was a bit concerned about sizing) and as soon as I have a reliable internet connection will order a 22" in Mint Turquoise with plastic tray and basket!!
Many thanks @User for the alert :-)

I have ordered the 18" frame in Turquoise Mint with parcel tray and basket.

Thank you @User for posting this thread and the link.

Ordered! Mint Turquoise 22" :-)

[QUOTE 4122295, member: 45"]You get a rack on the front which you can fit a box in. The rack at the back is extra long. I'm currently looking for some panniers for the back like those that go on a Kona Ute but not at their daft price.[/QUOTE]
Anything here?

What is disconcerting is that the front rack is attached to the frame... so you move the handlebars and the front wheel moves - but the rack and tray don't. Takes a bit of getting used to.

I take it you have never ridden a Brompton with a front pannier? They are like that. You will get used to it quickly enough, if my experience with my Brompton is anything to go on.

You'll have to be quick. There's only a couple of hundred left (out of 5,000).

I thought that Georgie said the limited edition is 500 bicycles. About £80 from the sale of each bike is spent on shipping the other bikes to Somalia.

After 17 hours spent travelling back from darkest Russia I felt the need for a quick fettle ...

Chuffin' eck ... it's big and heavy! Quick ride up and down the streets suggest it'll be fun :-)

Where's your basket?

In my garage ....

The label on my bike says 4720 of 5000.

4717 on mine .... I've called it Beryl the Behemoth ....

My lovely neighbour who would have helped me put it together is very busy this weekend. He is a great fan of Rugby, so he will be watching the Six Nations. I do not know enough about building bikes to try it myself.

It is the same colour as Fab's though. That is "Fab" as in @Fab Foodie, not Fabian Cancellara.
