Gonna nip that in the bud right here. I've picked a name.

Seeing how we can't seem to identify the bikes father I was going to call it 'The Bastard'.
But then I got to thinking about the bike and what its purpose is.

It's definitely British, probably English, it's old, it's an off road bike that's been set up for touring with just about every kind of braze-on and eyelet imaginable. It's a packhorse.

So I did a bit of research and found the old English term for an old beast of burden, 'ealdhríðer' pronounced 'ald-hree-ther'. It's a term that could describe an ox that works the fields or a mule that hauls supplies from the market back to the hillfort.

I came up with a few designs and these are the final waterslide decals, currently being weather proofed before application.
