These things are just laying around in Paris
I swear, every Parisian has either a PX10, a Gitane TdF, a Rene Herse, or an Alex Singer from the 1970's just chilling in their garage.

I could only imagine hitting a garage sale in France or rummaging through an old barn in Italy.

Went to carro, france on sunday morning. Here is gf's car at around sunday lunch time
1963 mercier, owned from new by the guys uncle untill he passed away
10 euros, not sure what to do with it yet
olmo, all original. Both the road bikes are from the same guy who used to ride a long time ago
I put temporary supermarket tyres on to have a test ride this morning.
I'd like a holiday to denmark to pick up bikes some day, since I'm sure i could fit 2 and a half bikes in a box for the plane ride home
