I also built the custom rack to accommodate her Carradice shopper which is a larger bag and this provides for better heel clearance.

She owned a Peugeot like this when she was younger and it was the same colour... I plan to strip it down in the fall and powdercoat it as the frame needs a refresh and she has asked that it becomes sage green.

I will also build a new rear rack and integrate that with the frame before it gets new powder.

I work for smoochies here...
