Love that last one. Reminds me of my school bike trip across the desolate island of Samsø known for it's potato fields and.. potato fields. I was the fatty at the end of the pack with my math teacher who was smoking his pipe for 5 consecutive days.
Vintage French randonneuer's and porteurs.

i think well done without being over-done.
like a front bag which will hold a helmet.
nice to see the racks level with the street and each other.
brown rubber? first for me.

Yes, it just looks right.
Ive seen a fair few brown and reddish brown 650b tyres on the older randonneurs and campeurs.

Did a quick search, and don't think this was posted before.
1947 Cycle de France. Very very very nice and well presented.

Thank you Woz for posting that with the link to the website. Tonton Velo is a excellent rabbit hole to dive into. I am spending hours immersed in French technical bliss, artistry, and execution.
Thank you again, you've broadened my horizons: Mike
