I personally prefer bikes that can actually be ridden.... But the photos are nice, and the bikes do qualify as art.

Plenty of vintage stuff being ridden and toured on throughout the thread. The bikes are indeed art.
Start a thread on the stuff you like you can never have too many bikes. I'm sure plenty of us will be curious enough to look and discuss

All of the modern reproduction stuff has no place here. This thread is for looking at fine vintage French bicycles.

What about Alex Singer, current owner Oliver Csuka's dad, Ernest was Singers nephew and apprentice and now I belive Oliver's son Walter is building too, very much in the style Alex and Ernest did?

A very interesting question. While they are indeed the same company they are turning out reproduction bike's. In the style of, more genuine the the modern "Rene Herse" offerings but still reproduction.
If I had £15,000-£20,000 I would have a modern Singer. Would I show it of here, no it's a modern bike.
