Three of my French restorations. Wish I had been there to take a photo that shows all three better. My son sent me this recently. This must be an outing from him, his mother and a friend.
These are complete restorations. Strip the frame, clean and polish everything, rebuild. The Peugeot on the right was my first full restoration. It was pretty beat and took 35 hours (the only time I ever counted, and I'm certainly faster now). Brooks saddles all around. Nitto and Public bars.
