Bikes and Stuff That I'm Not Buying This Week

[Guinessisgoodforyou]

For me, I could park half of @Guinessisgoodforyou 's vintage French rando and porteur thread here and lament how I will never be able to buy any, but I want to. A lovely Jo Routens 700c in off white is in my dreams. I wouldn't need two..

Maybe an L Pitard, Alex Singer, Rene Herse, Jo Routens, Barra, Goeland, I'm rambling sorry.

Man, this is too pretty. I love everything about it except for the paperboy racks and tassels. And maybe the mudflaps

I like this a lot. Maybe not the best condition.

Dahons are nice. Around here, they were sold to the yacht and sailboat crowd as easily stowed bikes for use when docked. Nowadays, that type cannot be seen to perspire, so they are all upgrading to e bikes, so I see many of them being listed for a decent price in pretty unused condition

Worthy sidetrack: browsing on folders, found this ww1 literature on the folding Bianchi Bianchi Spring-Frame Military Folding Bicycle ‘Model 1912’ with Solid Tyres ‘Modello Militare Brevettato (Tipo per Truppa)’

And swept riser bars with a bikepacking bag. Modern bikes are a hundred and ten years behind this thing

Would you repost this in the folder thread? And send me a good as new Dahon?

Lol I was trying not to re-subscribe to that one... I have a trashy old folder in the garage I'm attempting to ignore.
