Everything about this is gorgeous - the photography, the prep - tyre valves both in the same position, bike is spotless, and that bike - think I may need to go and clean myself up - I've browsed page after page of meh to find this honey. I want it. I may never ride it but it will be loved and adored in the centre of the living room every day that it's mine.

Really good to find a thread on this, I have only been into cycling (or any training) for 10 or 11 months. I rode my first century at Easter - it was tough (Petersfield - Lewes - Petersfield) it even snowed for 20 minutes.
In June we rode unsupported from Santander to Roscoff with some detours to see sights and keep us over 100 miles a day - 10 days and over 1100 miles. I loved it. Now we have a plan for 2014 - West to East traverse of the Pyrenees and then up to Chamonix for the Mt Blanc run. While we were planning that we discovered the PBP and have made that our challenge for 2015. Would be great to meet up and have a beer with someone who has done it.

Forgive my ignorance but I have never heard of this maker. Can you tell me a bit about it? How old the bike is, where it fit into the scheme of things when it was new? I want an old classic (a) to love and polish and fret over (b) for L'Eroica etc.
