Until Friday mon ami. 🍷 Then we can talk about levels.

I have asked myself this long before this thread. It is inevitable and also known practice throughout history despite "legal" protections. The issue is recognising the influence, origin and being upfront about it too and explain why it was the bases to extend. This is actually the whole problem...

You get a "Love" because you are passionate about it. Not sad about this whole affair .... and we know .... Bansky was actually not that arsed about Copyright and "droit d'auteur". For me he left work to be inspirational for what thus whatever purpose. If he was concerned he would be and would...

Somebody got out of bed the wrong way this Monday morning. :rolleyes: Christ on a bike. By Friday with a good Saumur Red chilling out you will be asking this bloke for bulk shipping discounts. :p

And finally, if you don't know what to do with your lottery winning's please have in mind it's bike snob's birthday soon and I can help spend it. An Aviac 1944 Duralamin - just mind blowing. https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/velos/2990815849

That time again for the LBC pick of the crop ..... strap-up and here goes. :) Immaculate La Perle - I would suspect it is re-sprayed - 50s. https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/velos/2998702341 Another 50s - Wolhauser this is a new brand to me. Worth checking the pictures for some sublime details...

Think it's pretty cool to be honest. He's a member here I believe:

@Guinessisgoodforyou - turn away now o_O @bikeworkshop - as we were talking earlier about barn finds and the rock bottom prices. 50 Euro get's you all of this. https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/velos/2984971334

As a buyer you would be spoilt for choice if you popped over to France - pretty much the same that complete retro road bikes need to be sold off for peanuts to shift. I would say in the last two to three years all of a sudden a complete nose dive. The local bike charity can't shift them...

What a great thread and an interesting bike to begin with 👍 Some top work gone on 😍 Funny last night while being a bit ..... erm ...... overly tipsy was wondering why we don't see so many retro mods. Actually showing the financials is probably a bit taboo here (?) but for sure many people...

😍 There really is something to have a good quality steel frame like this in in herd. Versatile for many uses like mentioned, potential to re-use older and newer road or MTB parts and still a great balance of being very solid and lively all round for some decent distance. Tinker's delight -...

Your missing ball bearings are probably under my fridge somewhere. It's a nightmare when it happens. My theory is when you've cleaned them, got everything greased including on your hands because you've placed most of the balls already one will be magnetically drawn under something like a...

🤔 :LOL: Looks like someone lost a couple of the larger balls under the workbench and decided to pad them out with some smaller ones.

Cool photo and pro bike. Someone will be along to help more.

Was a very well known lightweight brand / builder? in Belgium with pedigree. I'm not capable to tell you the full the history though.

Visited a friend who lived in Seattle some 15 years ago now. A great bike vibe, but my god some areas hilly as hell. I went to one bike recycling shop to buy a smaller chain ring for her bike - got sorted quick and very social. 👍 Can appreciate over the pond there will be a different view...

🤔 Always love a counter argument. So we nail it a bit. Yes, what you said is true. It is a commercial venture like the original. But it's on the back of someone who ploughed a lifetime also and did a lot too to make work it for a living. I think when you have an original RH there is a shift of...

Would say @Jonny69 - live experience that we rarely (never) witness. In my mind our in-house vintage RH expert now: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/late-40s-early-50s-rené-herse-tip-find.471568/ Of course help from the usual suspects. But still. His find. His project. His work. His end...

^ 3) Send the RH as-is to a tip in the UK. Someone at RB will fix it up.

* COUGH * Extra Extra Light FFS. They are what is written on the packet. +/- 4 grams. Which is essential. The lower lever XL - only one Extra = Schwalbe 14 is targeted to poor unrefined people commuting at a whopping 120 grams. Good for a winter bike though. I suspect it's all from the same...
