A S Gillott - L'Atlantique (I think)

I took it for a short trip out yesterday (not too far from home on the ancient tyres) and it is a fabulous ride & feels really nicely balanced.

On modern roads and in traffic, the brakes are something else but you quickly become accustomed and take things very easy.

What is unusual is when you go through the gears (up or down) you may need to adjust the front derailleur to suit the chain line - Doing this whilst moving is quite odd as you need to reach right down the seat tube to reach the derailleur and this is quite a strange manoeuvre whilst cycling.
