As you can see, there are a lot of parts from Velo Orange. I've wiled away hours looking at pictures of classic radnonneuse-type bikes and this is my own assimilation. I'm tickled with it. Love, love, love it.

These pictures were taken outside my LBS yesterday. If the size/configuration look a bit odd it's because I've got long legs and a bad, bad lower back.
