This is one of my favourite blogs. Tim, the author, seems to have both unlimited finds and unlimited time at his disposal. His areas of passion are french touring bikes and very early English bikes. Some great tips on restoration too. He also uploads the biggest pictures on the net, so make sure you click on each pick then click again for insane detail. His wife has some nice bikes too! b vintagebicycle.wordpress.com/

Good heavens! Amazing.
I love the Alex Singer Sportif in chrome. I'd sell a kidney for that.
I was blown away by the cut outs in the chain stays of the Masi Prestige, and the colour scheme just nails it for me.
That is a very stylish collection of bikes. Thanks for sharing that site.

Just bumping this to say Tim is still posting and he seems to just keep buying and restoring AMAZING bikes. The latest is a Reyhand tandem from 1934. He has also just started posting on Instagram, which is just as seductive www.instagram.com/timdaw356/ b
