Both bikes look fabulous: where did you get them? They look like French Market finds!
I also like the "light-touch" restoration - very sympathetic and nice that you're getting them out on the road so quickly - most impressed.
@absurdbird - The Patent apps came from Disraeli Gears. (had a quick look on ClassicRendezvous Simplex page but it didn't show up much).
There are also some nice photos showing another variant on Velobase
Do they work well? is it 4 or 5 speed?
