Anyone riding a mason?

No comment >>>ICI<<<

I do love me a nice little Frenchie;

Something @Dammit was looking to put a dynamo on the trailer wheel, converting a front light into a back is pretty clever (and bright);

Look super fun to ride;

^ the detailing on that is next level... chainstay protector is genius

I think that was a constructeur innovation, back when paint chipped more easily.

Could rate this page as bike porn so far. Strong top to bottom

So on trend right there. What a bike though!
If I hadn't given up riding spd's those shoes would be a win, like a posh version of those old leather lace up track shoes I forget the name of

I'll never get those people who put disc brakes to the front wheel. Damn suicide to me.

Modulation, bro. No more suicidal than rim brakes. I've even ridden freewheel with front (disc) brakes only.

Well, I have rim brakes on front, track 14T back 48T front on my everyday grinder, using around 50% force to slow down on 50km/h or more, hard to imagine how this can work with disc brakes. Always thought they're mostly invented for downhill or MTB

Discs are far superior braking to rims, especially in the wet - no arse clenching moments waiting for the film of water to clear before the bite of the blocks on the rim.
Far far easier modulation. I don't understand why you think it's suicidal tbh
