1940s Porteur

This 1940s porteur from Paris came in good straight working condition, repainted and lovingly modified by its former owner. In his spirit, I'm modifying it some more. A perpetual work in progress, it gets a lot of use already. Or still.

The elegant lugless frame has a sloping top tube, long chainstays and a steepish headtube. It has small diameter tubes; the seat tube takes a tiny 22 mm post. I replaced the rusty original and needed a BMX post to fit.

'Before' picture is here . It came with cracked 700 x 28c tires, I mounted 35mm Panaracer Paselas. I added a deadstock fabric chainguard which I chopped to the length of those steel ones usually found on French porteurs.
