After reducing my collection in order to move across the state, I've finally started to come across a few interesting items, such as this:

I've had my eye out for a single-speed for a while now, and while I had hoped for a cantilever frame, this one will do just fine.

I couldn't pass this one up either:

It's currently sporting a very non-stock SA 3-speed, and it's rather grungy, but I got it road-worthy in little more than an hour.

It now sports northroad bars off a derelict Schwinn frame, the ancient Brooks from the Raleigh (simple trade), and it's as sweet a ride as I've had in a while. Not that I'm jealous or anything.

I think I'm a sucker for old bikes with fenders... nice finds.

the old fenders had style. the ones on the Gitane are newer plastic, but they're going to get pinstripes.
