Chris: Your guess is as good as mine, but I think it’s the seat tube angle. P.S. Part of the charm of the Singer shop is knowing that this same board has probably been used for decades to hold slips of paper pretty much like this. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagr

Re: [RBW] Something French

Wonderful gallery, thanks for sharing. I love this pic of the frame sketches: Do you know if the "Angle" is seat tube or head tube? I'm guessing it's the seat tube, as the head tube angle can be determined by the top tube, fork

Re: [RBW] Something French

I know how that feels. In 2007, after PBP, my friend and I traveled to Roubaix to see the velodrome and hopefully buy some bicycle-related souvenirs. Unfortunately, the shop at the track *and* the only other bike shop we could find in town were closed for Summer holiday. The Alex Singer shop op

Re: [RBW] Something French

Last time I was in Paris it was August:(! Was hoping to go to the Singer shop. Alas, they were closed. Hopefully another time. Can you compare the ride/handling of the Singer with the Riv Road you're selling? Your Singer is gorgeous by the way! Kind regards, Richard On Monday, March 13, 2017

Re: [RBW] Something French

I see some of the features of this bike—a sturdy but light lugged steel frame, racks for carrying small loads, fenders, wider tires (Singer designed mostly around 700x28, not wide by Rivendell standards but wider than most “racing” bikes of the 70s, 80s, etc.), longish wheelbase—and see a direct
