It looks like what I might expect on the set of a Rene Clair or Jean Renoir film.<br /><br />On something unrelated: I saw a pair of the White Industries city pedal. Its body is a near-knockoff of the Lyotard Berthet pedal. And it has sealed bearings. I'm sure the quality is great (I have an eccentric Eno hub on one of my bikes.) but I don't want to spend $200 for a pair. Given what you've done with your pedals, I would hope that you could make a modernized version of the Berthet, with an integral platform/body, Chromoly spindle (The ones on the Berthets were some cheaper steel; I broke a couple.)and, of course, sealed bearings.<br /><br />Dites "oui," s'il vous plait!Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-67092628533442339902009-09-18T22:05:37.363-04:002009-09-18T22:05:37.363-04:00rene descartes entered a diner, and ordered coffee...rene descartes entered a diner, and ordered coffee. the waitress asked if he would like cream.
