I know it looks like a stone wall but this is the foundation of an old building by the side of the road in CT.
Thanks JJScaliger. That old Peugeot takes the Frankenbike concept to a whole new level, with an 8-speed Sturmey-Archer IGH and drum brakes. It's a fun ride now the Porteur bar is no longer on it and I can ride it comfortably on longer road rides.

BTW, as usual, you've got some great pictures posted. It seems you actually take time to compose the pictures, unlike me, as I'm always in too big a hurry to compose most of my pictures.

So what's the story with the Kelly bicycle? I never heard of the marque before you mentioned it in one of your previous posts and was surprised to discover they are the same ones that make the Kelly Take Offs.
