Paris is quiet. If anybody ever plans to visit Paris it is the last weeks in August that you should do it. Hardly any traffic, and so quiet. Really the best time and like it was 25 years ago all the time.... so here are some photos...


Picked up these nice cranks. Stronglight 107 "Aero"



And this steel Simplex Vallee from early '90's Almost new for 10$.



Derailleur grave yard. Some work really well.

When I came to live in Paris in 1983, everyone drove like maniacs in small cars. You could park anywhere and for free. Traffic flowed, parking was easy and no real mess except when the Perif. was shut down for cleaning.

Now there are poles everywhere to prevent parking, stupid (my opinion) bus lanes on the main blvds creating traffic jams and more pollution than before, and, more cars that are much, much bigger.

One more week and thats it for peace in Paris.
