A blog about bicycling by a newcomer to the sport. No Spandex, no gear ratios and no nonsense. Just cool bikes, cool accessories and the fun of casual cycling.
A rented bike in Bruges re-introduced me to how fun casual cycling can be. My best cycling outings are with my lovely wife and darling daughter.
After buying a 70s-era Mercier mixte, I was smitten with vintage bikes and accessories. This blog seeks to share those interests with you and occupy some of the time now devoted to obsessively buying bicycles and gear!
Thanks, Tanya. I've come across a ton of ladies' Sports (and similar models) on C-list, but relatively few Superbes. Of course, they're nearly the same bike. The typical three-speed on CL, though, is from the 1970s, I find. They were down to just a chain guard by then, not the full case. I'll keep my eyes open and message you any good ones I find. BTW, Chico rocks.
Looks great! I love the full chaincases! Do you know of any Ladies superbe or DL-1s for sale? I am in Chico and can't seem to find any anywhere.
