Many thanks to Roberto Rodrigez from the canary Islands who sent me superb detail pics of his 'skip-found' 70's Victoria. He also kept the original badges & transfers (decals)

I like the way the rack is integrated into the frame.
Yeah, those are pretty durable frames, i have seen a couple around here during the last few months too.
Hey Chop, here is another Really Vintage folder for your list, Italian made, imported into NL a loooong time ago. Break away and pretty cool.

I aksed my daughter, who is studying in France, to be on the lookout for old folders. She agreed, against her better judgement. Here's her first photo from Lyon.

That's a very good reason to fold it and take it in with you! Stops the nasties from knicking it, knicking bits or failing that, jumping on the wheels!
Yeah, i sort off feel bad for that old faithfull folder.

Shame. It was a beautiful bike. Maybe at one time it was like this one.

It's a Peugeot folder in Romans-Sur-Isere, France - also cool panniers and nice way to carry flowers.
Ha Ha, great pic, just need a few baguettes ( maybe a big bottle of 51 Pastis) in the other pannier!
I came zapping around a corner 2 days ago and almost crashed into a 20" wheeled BSA being piloted by some old maid, I said "Good Morning" & she almost had a heart attack and went into a slow speed wobble! Didn't see if it was a folder and she turned off, so I thought she might think I was a Granny stalker if I followed her!

Yeah, you're right on target. The big debate we had was 51 versus Ricard. And, how much water and ice per glass. Apologies for going off the folding bike path. Happy riding!
