Sorry about the crappy picture I'm still learning about the forum.

Looks very nice, a good solid traditional look to it.

Stronglight LX 80 or LX 100 cranks? THey are nice, you can simply bolt on a 3rd ring if you want to change it to a triple.

I am finding myself more and more attracted to bikes like this.

Hello fellow Randonnee owner.

Which I've since fitted with drop bars and mudguards. I'll post pics soon.
So nice to see another one.
