Found this shot and put it on my flickr site, thought it might be of interest.
It wasn't that long ago, 2002, but a lot has happened since that time. Here
is my first rando bike,

Many builder's are making this type of bike now, and the revival of this style has also redirected the focus on the classic French cyclotouring bikes.
Many of my customers have also gone shopping for a classic Herse, Singer, Routens etc., some of them many times,,, but I won't name names!
