Seems to be a lot of interest in these 'Elephant: bikes.

I do indeed. I haven't got her out yet this year. She makes a fantastic gardening bike once I have something to harvest. I just pop everything in the basket to bring it home. She's just a bit heavy to manoeuvre through the gate 
I'd hate to drop her and have to pick her up.
I spotted another in Newcastle the other day and there's a florist in Morpeth who uses one for display. They fill the basket with plants and flowers and stand it outside the shop.

The Mailstar tough as a tank, is it a 3 or 5 spd, the Sturmey 5 spd wasn't reliable, it could fail, other bovver was the bars, seat post, and pedals getting corroded in , the Chrome handle bars would go rustyI do indeed.

nd get pitted.
The trick was to polish them up with scrunched foil and oil, incidentally you can use that trick on any chrome , brings it up good.

The Elephant is a three speed. She's not all shiny like a new bike, but that's all part of her history.

I used to ride a post bike. I was late most or the time, and about one in ten journeys I'd never arrive at all.
Shorts were an effort in Janjary though, even with the PO issue licorice paper roll-up to keep me warm.
