I've always loved French bikes, particularly Rene Herses and Alex Singers
Sadly, I never found one to fit me
.
So I made my own
interpretation of the classic
French randonneur bike.
It's made of Columbus
tubing with short point lugs..
and a double plate fork crown.
The color is
a very French shade of green.
The detailing is French.
All the parts
on this bike are French.
Simplex seatpost, derailleurs, bar end levers and
Demultiplicator; TA cranks, bottom bracket, and pedals; Christophe clips;
AVA straps; Milremo bar and stem; Mafac brakes and levers; Tressostar handlebar
tape; Maillard and Plessier hubs; Super Champion clincher and Mavic sew-up
rims; Hutchinson tires (both clincher and sew-up). Only the cable housing,
small bolts, and fenders (Honjo reproductions) are not French.
