The Elephant's arrived!

See the extras!!!

Number 2775 of 5000. And, what with all the rain today I've not been out on it for a test spin, not that the rain would normally stop me but I don't want to get it dirty on its maiden voyage. 

Now it has arrived I'm desperate to know its history. Where was it a Post Office bike, how long was it in service, who was its custodian, so many questions! Just pleased to give it a new lease of life now that the PO make the posties drive around in diesel vans for endless short trips.

Also, good to know there will be another just like it off having its own adventure in Malawi.

Mine's going to be perfect to pop into the village, do stuff and just admire. It's crying out for a pair of Carradice Panniers, got to keep it traditional.

My very own Stratford upon Avon built Pashley with history, what a treat.
