My wife is a much better shopper than me
She's been looking at some vintage Aluminum French chain guards
She loves the style but not the price on EBAY
So she found a guy in France that was willing to ship it to the US
She bought it for $17 plus shipping (which wasn't as high as I thought it would be)
She got some french road bike pedals too
It's very cool, and we both love the styling, because it's cast aluminum I think it's especially cool!!
It took a couple of tries to get it here, not sure how far it made it the first time
but He got it back... He put Minneapolis and USA plus zip code but not MN
He mentioned that Mpls must be a "one horse town" :lol:
Probably not even one horse in Mpls proper but 387,000 people (2.9 million in the Twin Cites)
None the less, we (no wait.. ) She got it today in the mail
Not sure what it's going on yet but I just learned how to polish aluminum
Maybe somebody knows what bikes they were on or what year (my wife might know but I forgot to ask...)
Thanks for looking
Steve
