New fender source
Won a bid on eBay france for a nice set of vintage fenders, the buyer replied with his french email address attached. I think it got by the eBay sensors since it had a "fr" extension...So I emailed back, (with heavy usage of google translate) asking if he had more of the same. I got pictures of piles of parts, and I mean giant piles of parts, the kind of piles that le mordu velo ancien français might see and start smiling and crying at the same time. He picked out a few sets of garde boue, took some pics, and sent them to me. I selected a few, we negotiated a price, and Friday I received them.

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.
Man, I think I know you well enough (and having visited l'atelier Gugie and viewing the artifacts therein) to say that stuff looks right up your alley.

I'm surprised you didn't work a deal for a good amount of stuff, or did you:-). This is a Gugie dream stash.
Seeing cool stuff like this makes me regret passing on the only Rando that really called to me :-(
Wait, those are all yours now? Awesome!!!
