50s Alcyon. The assassination squad is mobilized and on route . This hurts me to see.

So the belgians finished their chips and Leffe and got hold of the paint. At least they weren't German...

Any idea what the nipple is on the downtube lug of the Peugeot PL50, Guinness?

Voila - here you can see the guts and how it is made. Think it was more of a selling feature than anything decent,

@Guinessisgoodforyou - that crime against a 50s Alcyon is abhorrent. Post needs to be delated or at least a warning added that if such a thing happens here it's an immediate lifetime ban from the Bikewrenchers Inn (no executive consensus needed, first one see's it calls the shots).

@grantoury - that is not paint. That is mayonnaise mixed with flour and ketchup mixed with salt.

Just how does someone wake up in the morning and think of such a thing, then go ahead and actually do it

It was probably stolen at some point, and the thief thought the owner wouldn't recognize their bike in this state

Back to simple unadulterated grace, elegance, and built for purpose. Back to purity, excellence and riding in dreamland.

1950s Goeland.
