@Guinessisgoodforyou & wife: Going to give this some serious thought. I like the fact that what appears the original basket it there. Timing is bad since the man cave is full of building material and more building material will arrive soon after that. What I did notice, and perhaps no surprise, most of the ads for Porteurs are around the Paris region. It would be a full day journey for me, so to make it worth while I'd combine it with something else. Probably even better to look at more than one bike. Considering how things are here, think it could be for sale for sometime.
