Vintage French randonneuer's and porteurs.

I like this a lot, the crate is really nice. Translation below.

Good evening,
After my Peugeot PX40, here is my VERDIN carrier that I can't date. Early 50's I think. I'm going to leave it as it is because it has a nice patina and it shows the original piping. I've just painted the rims, fitted white sidewall tyres and fitted a box that I fixed on the rear. It gives it a little rat's rod feel which is a style I particularly like. It's become my everyday bike, very practical to go shopping and it makes me happy Laughing every time I go out.
Now I'm going to work on my mini Stella.

Brival, not heard of the either. Some beautiful details all over, just plain nice. Possibly a small builder or sub contractor.

I bet the little kid felt right royal on the back of that. Little foot rests to stop little feet dangling.

Got to be worth a "Five Star" for a period correct accessory
