Reinor "Super Grand Luxe" randonneur bike.
From sterbabike.cz
For the record in case it is removed and we lose information about this bicycle.
Reinor "Super Grand Luxe" randonneur bike. Beautiful machine of the 1940s, fully original, top quality parts, wonderful paint and lining with the original maker and interesting bike shop decals. Very pretty colour combination, light "milk chocolate" brown with red and gold double lining, Gold Reinor decal.
Quality frame with nice fork top, nice lugs, brazed-on cable guides for rear derailleur and rear brake routing. The alloy parts are the best and lightest parts available at the time for an expensive French bike. Large alloy mudguards, beautifully lined down the center, original 650B Englebert demi-ballon tyres. Very rare early Mavic rims. Rare Simplex derailleurs, the front derailleur lever is on the seat tube, rear derailleur lever on top tube, as was the fashion in the late 40s for quality bikes. Top quality Jeay brakes and levers. Beautiful lightweight alloy pedals, double large ratio randonneur Cyclo chainrings. Reinor bell, alloy handlbar and stem. Alloy hubs and wing nuts. Idéale 44 saddle. 1Interesting design alloy front light, rear light, reflector.

Puffing on a Gualoise was mentioned. Have faith. Have a stiff drink on the summit from a hip flask. Booze with some proper heritage mind just like their forefathers was obviously the thing for on a wing and prayer. I am sure the CTC handbook was all about Tea and Tea rooms, but I have found no evidence this was the case across the channel. Plenty of Bistros. There was something else going on.
What could possibly go wrong down a col with such vital ingredients - human sustenance and hand built works of art?
Get with it man - the kids today call it adventure cycling and will rattle on about CAD stress simulation and bullshit energy bars and gels.
