Vintage French randonneuer's and porteurs.

[Woz]

^ Seen a few used as an hanging basket too. Some are even advertised as for garden decoration.

Thing is that one looks like the tyres are in fairly decent condition so perhaps it could have been a rider with not too much effort or cost.

1920-1930 ish judging by the bolt on rear brake and slack angles.

It is just a frame only at the moment and in need of new paint

Think they both have potential LGF, the Norman Fay is my fave

I see how you can shim the steerer to reduce the ID from 22.2 to 22.0, but how on earth are you going to tap 35x1 into BSA threads?

The Biggie is a Daniel Salmon with his own mudguards made of aluminmumniummmumumum

totally impractical

It has a very nice Spidelt BB in it
