Sorry about the crappy picture I'm still learning about the forum.

Looks very nice, a good solid traditional look to it.

Stronglight LX 80 or LX 100 cranks? THey are nice, you can simply bolt on a 3rd ring if you want to change it to a triple.

Hello fellow Randonnee owner.
Yours is much more original than mine which can be seen here:

Which I've since fitted with drop bars and mudguards. I'll post pics soon.
So nice to see another one.
