Bike porn

I hope you will not think this is inappropriate ine the "bike porn" section... This lovely french bike must be from the 1920s or 1930s. I found it in a skip and refurbished it when I lived in Paris... The BB is cracking, but I never dared open it... really weird stuff...

Loic

Very nice.

freakishly long saddle though and really slack chain.

i'm loving this one ...... :)

a classic snobbing.

how the fnck? that's a low-pro?

yes the last time I saw the pics, must be photoshop

i have rode it, and i know it's bloody low

click the pic and all will be revealed...

rep! Has VV seen?

Funny that was mine before I sold to VV-had a moment of WTF..

low-rent fame granted by the international god of cycling cynicism...

its a proud day for lfgss.

@jimmy old boy, rep right back atcha...

This is probably a repost - so sue me.

And I don't care if Vice call it a DON'T.

Just got in and saw this, guess my fifteen minutes of fame has come and gone whilst i was down the pub!

enjoy a sobering glass of positive rep.

and then move on, try and forget,
for those whose bikesnob moment has passed there are only painful memories, drugs, the gradual slide into hopeless incontinence and the mercy of a dignified death....

.

maybe a commemorative tt pad to ease the pain

With "as seen on BSNYC" embroided upon it - then i shall lock it up outside Shoreditch House hoping for Peaches Geldof to see, so she can put London Famous Londons melting bike in her new hipster magazine

Good job he never saw the Condor!

sounds like you've got an potential media empire on your hands. get blogging...

How does it ride? As you know never had it made up, looks like you done it proud. love the workmanship, Pongo style, was clearly a very active man in his time-probably a classic in the making....

Enjoy it my boy... enjoy it.

So, now that its been and gone, can I buy it from you on the cheap?

It rides great, riding position is like being on the drops, and once you are used to it no probs, but havent done a long distance ride on it yet, only about 10k in one siting so far.

Next time i am in CG i will pop by for you to have a spin - though its got Time Atacs on it now.

Enjoy it my boy... enjoy it.

According to my Hipstometer, now that it has been through the BSNYC Korectionizer , it is now worth at least 2 arrospok, a set of Double straps and a fistfull of hypster cysts

hmmm...

Meh... I'm still waiting for the first Sarah Palin fixed gear bike...

I don't know what brand frame this is but it is boss:

Only in america. Fucking suckers. Different politician, same relentless hype.

Still, i suppose if we'd had Bush maybe we'd all be rocking Cameron electric guitars or Clegg snakeboards. shudder.
