    I am happy to introduce ..... LA GRENOUILLE !!!!

    Green is an unusual color for a bike, but it turns pretty well (in spite of my poor pictures). The paint job is good and lug shorelines are still in good shape :

    I couldn't resist to quickly put a pair of wheels to look at the overall "sihouette"

    My good friend Fred will now assemble the bike so that we can grind some gravel as soon as possible. I will certainly post a picture with #1 (AKA El Lordo) and #6 (La grenouille) in action.

    Hi all,

    Time for me, Fred, to post something! I'm now the very lucky and happy owner of #6 alias La Grenouille!

    It took some time to get it painted, procure the components and assemble it all...But here we are finally!

    Even if the second test and tuning ride has been shortened by the rain, the first sensations are great. Perfect fit, smooth feeling, great comfort....

    On the road, a feeling of riding on a carpet. Limited off-road usage for now... It is not a MTB for sure but it is so nice to be able to 'turn right' and take a gravel shortcut when you want.

    And already several admirers starting with the paintshop guy (nice to get good feedback from a professional even if he doesn't like green bikes !), then my neighbour...

    Fred
