Constance and her vintage Mercier fixie. Photos by The Bikerist
(She mounted her bike with the help of le Petit Boyauteur)
Constance rides cool not nervous, she likes to speak about her bikes,
she cycles since a long time and has 4 bicycles. Her other bicycles bear the name of original owners : Malek, Alfreda, Lucien, Théophile.When we discussed to choose a bicycle, we hesitated not so long, and we chose the Mercier, her grand mother’s bike ! She cycles with it everyday, she’s proud of it and she wants to show a picture of her with the bike to her grand mother. Check the close-up on the head tube with the old registration plate of her grand mother, that still there.
Creative, Constance made her own singular pendant (cf the close-up) with a little blue piece of metal cut from the frame, (that originally carry the pump under the frame on this type of bike). She recycled the part and created a cool blue gloss necklace !
Also take a look at her peculiar wheels, these are kind of protoypes, unique color and less spokes because hubs didn’t have the good number of holes!
Delightful Cycles
The purpose of this blog is to stir interest and inspire. Hopefully after visiting this blog you will firstly, want to get yourself on a bike, and secondly, if you don’t already have one, you might consider retaining my skills.
The difference
I’m a lawyer, so my process is long and slow. But I promise my bikes are the only ones like them in the world. Every bike I create is different because, you get to dictate the design process, so I can find out exactly what you want and may need. Everything needs to be ordered as I dont stock any parts and that gives you the chance to pick and choose every single part. Once we have decided upon exactly everything you desire, I then go about building your bike.
