This René Herse Randonneuse is one of the last bikes made by the famous constructeur. It came to Seattle to be photographed for our book René Herse: The Bikes • The Builder • The Riders, and so I had the chance to study its many…

Here's a picture of a Bridgestone Grand Velo 650B randonneuse that I pulled off a Japanese web page. It's authentic, not a conversion. Graceful, isn't it? It's not my bike, but I'd be happy to own such a nice machine. We never got these bikes here in the US. Maybe we weren't ready. Perhaps it's only now that we can really appreciate them.
I've just completed this spectacular Barralumin aluminium bicycle made by Nicola Barra. When I bought it there were a just a few parts missing including the wheels, and it has taken some time to find exactly the right period parts. No 'restoration' as such was carried out, just very careful cleaning and light hand polishing…
This bike was In Bicycle Quarterly Vol.5 #4, Builder's Speak. Note tail light placement on rear rack...can also be mounted on back of seat tube...
One of a pair of bicycles hand built during the 1970's to a high standard by a little known South of France constructeur - Gaidou. The other machine is a very similar specification Gent's model in the same colour, still owned by the person I bought this one from. I particularly like the understated look…
This is Tomoko's wonderful aluminium Barra dating from around 1950. It is badged 'Urago' who were the retailers in Nice, but was built by the great Nicola Barra. The tubes are the trademark Barra vertical oval at the head, to round in the middle, to horizontal oval at the bottom bracket and seat tube. See…
Meet the Victoire Cycles bike that won the Le Concours de Machines, a technical trial event based in the Auvergne, France.
This could well be the most elegant bike we’ve featured all year. It was built by Patrik Tegnér, a name unknown, perhaps, to those of us outside his home country of Sweden — where he has quite the reputation for building exquisite randonneuring frames. Patrik built his first frame in 1989, driven by a deep…
Das Surly Midnight Special ist von vornherein um die traditionsreiche 650b Laufradgröße gebaut. Es wird aber nicht im kompletten klassischen Randonneurs-Dress mit Schutzblechen und Licht verkauft. Der Inhaber des Pressedienst Fahrrad und gelegentliche Reise-Autor auf Rennrad-News brachte seine vertieften Sortimentskenntnisse bei der alltagstauglichen Ausrüstung und farblichen Abstimmung ein – mit dem Ergebnis, das ihr hier sehen könnt. Viel Spaß mit diesem Renner der Woche.

A recent purchase was a Marcel Dejouannet touring bicycle in very original condition. It's a fairly straightforward job to clean up and preserve this bicycle, but I thought that it would illustrate well some of the techniques I use, and some of the thought processes involved. This series will feature 'before and after' photographs of…
