I sold my mountain bike as it's seen way too little use lately. It was a cool bike, an old Nicolai Bass DFL, way too small for me but really a blast to ride.
I heard 26" is dead and 650b is the way to go nowdays so I got this instead:
It sort of fell in to my lap, "sort of" meaning I gave a bit of money to a guy in exchange for the bike.
The condition is awful and I'm not sure why the hell I bought it, but some of my earliest memories include a '70's Peugeot PX-50 and an orange children's seat, I blame sense of nostalgia. Also I've never seen one of these with cantilever brakes and randonneur brake levers (here installed the wrong way around).
I think the French bikes from this era are really beautiful.
Even though their sense of ergonomics is a bit odd.
