Hold the phone/telegram, Downtown Abbey just called. They want their bike back and are those mudguards, are they even street legal? The fine selection of components (did I mention I can't get enough of the cantilever Dia compe brake design? [link]) just reek of a bygone era, where riding was not just a lifestyle but unless you were loaded like the muppets in Downtown Abbey your only option, bar a horse and carriage a necessity. Love the vintage chic mudguards.

The bike forums suggest these puppies weight a ton and drive like a truck. I'll take their word for it.
