The steed of choice was the recently acquired PFN-10, French soul and almost all French components. The temperature was around 40 degrees, the sun shining in a bright blue sky, seeming very November.

And I have to add that the PFN-10 is a superb road bike! Fast, predictable, agile, comfortable.
Happy Birthday! The "new" bike is stunning!
