even after two collisions, leaving the drops bent and some serious bodily bruises and scraps, this entire bicycle has been an obsessive year long work in progress. i am trying to keep everything originally french even though it has been converted from a road bike. other than the spokes, tubes, cog and lockring, this bike is all french. oh. the tires are new/vintage wolber skins. if you are in brooklyn and want to ride, drink, or need parts; message me.
