The only Motobecane I used was one supplied by a sponsor when my then sylph-like self was doing a big charity triathlon way back in the early '80s. Compared to the Mercian Superlight I had just bought, it was like riding a garden gate. I wanted to use my own bike, but was told in no uncertain terms "Use the gate, or you get the gate!" so that's why I rode a Motobecane from Galway to Dublin and then ran the Dublin City Marathon with legs like jelly. In my opinion, that gate affected my gait... That said, I like the geometry (of your bike) on display here. It looks elegant and purposeful, and the rake of the forks looks good, lest plate tectonics moves a stray alp into Wisconsin, but the saddle looks plumper than a true peletoneur would desire. Seriously, it's good to hear you're throwing your leg over in your maturity :-) Douglas PS flowers are good too! ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Lottermoser" <george.imagist at icloud.com> To: "LUG" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Friday, July 15, 2016 6:16 PM Subject: [Leica] IMGs: Friday: frogs, flowers, bread baking and bike riding >C & C always welcome and appreciated > > <http://www.imagist.com/blog/?p=11001> > > Regards, > George Lottermoser > > http://www.imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com/blog > http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
