I think my new to me Roberts Roughstuff now qualifies as a porteur as has just aquired front and rear Tonard racks, the front one being a modified smaller rear, fun fact the racks were made about half a mile from where the bike was made in Croydon.

That's elegant right enough. Maybe a bit "postie" though? Sorry!

Looks a lot more subtle than a postie, if you ask me. Nobody did I know, but there you are.

 

[Guinessisgoodforyou]

Definitely not postie

I'm asking. Just needs a big basket up front?
And I'm sure there's a country somewhere who uses green to signify postal services. Anybody?
I'll stop now.

 

[chickendrumsticks]

There's this. But I really will stop now.

I am not sure what the cost of a fleet of Roberts postie bikes would do to the price of a first class stamp but the public might not like it, anyway this "forager bike" Sven cycles made I believe for Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is a better contender.
