Wow Little Hat. I just followed your link to your bicycle story. You simply must read my post here: http://thawinedarksea.blogspot.com/2009/10/bicycle-sagas-4.html
Yours is the only other 1960's postman's bike that I've seen. I sold mine recently, to a musician who just happened to collect 1960's postie bikes. I sold it because I came a serious cropper one night in the dark, slightly trolleyed and there were kerbs involved, if I remember rightly. Made quite a mess of my face.
I absolutely loved that bike but never get on it again.

I've not seen many cyclists in 'traditional clobber' like that! Fun words, though...
