            circa 1960 Comet Sans Pareille

A classic Belgian ladies' town bike, dated circa 1955~1960. Hand-made lugless frame, Simplex 3-speed derailleur, 700C wheels (the front wheel is not original). It has the Saint Christopher emblem on the chain guard, and a 1964 Belgian bicycle license plate on the fork.

It's strange to get emotional over a bicycle, but the moment I saw this bike, parked on 14th street in manhattan, I had a shock of recognition.. This is more or less identical to the bicycle my mother had in Belgium from 1952 to 1967. Hers was silver. I remember riding in the little kid's seat in the back, on my way to kindergarten. She always regretted leaving it behind when we moved to America.
