I have had this about three years, it is custom-made. I use it nearly every day and leave it in the streets. Until no nobody has seen that it is not sheepish as it looks.
During our holiday trips I have a Bob Yak trailer. In front there is a roll brake. The gear is Rohloff.

Oh, I don't think it looks "sheepish" at all, but then I know what it is. That's a classic gentleman's bicycle!

Very nice, pelago -- a bike for all uses & seasons! Good Thing that it doesn't shout at passers-by, "Hey, look at me!"

The Clark Kent of bicycles.

Thank you gentlemen for your comments. I am a pastor and bike most of my duties. Soon I will bike to a funeral.
I am also +60 so the Clark Kent look suites very well. The look of a mice was in my mind when I ordered the bike with a Rohloff.
I live in Finland but luckily so south that there is seldom below -15 for longer periods; I use the same oil all over the year. During the winter I have spikes in front but not behind, there is Marathon Plus all over the year. The problem is not snow but ice on the streets.

funnily enough I was admiring one of these (or certainly a Pelago) in a bike shop in London on Friday. Shop called Velorution on Great Portland Street. I popped in at random when passing to admire the Pelago in the window, and had a good browse and a chat, full of enthusiasm for bikes since I had just cycled down from Scotland. Looked like really nice bikes.
