[LEL17] Time to revert to PBP?
« on: 08 May, 2018, 08:11:27 am »
Quick thought for the Mods - is it time to close down the LEL board and open up the PBP 19 conversations?  I'm sure someone, somewhere is already fretting about what colour dust caps to fit.
Why should anybody steal a watch when they can steal a bicycle?

Not dust caps. But I am wondering whether to ride on a vintage French bike or a Raleigh Shopper/Dawes Kingpin.

The idea of a Raleigh, with front basket containing bread and plastic flowers, is winning at present.

I think that may have been done already:

We encountered Sophie Matter in 2011. She had costume changes as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDjug5DSgo

Sophie handled the English translation for ACP, and organises the Mille Sud in Provence.

Drew Buck got most attention with the 'Onion Johnny' bike in 2007.

OMG! Decisions  decisions!
Should they match the socks?
Besides, it wouldn't be audacious if success were guaranteed.

2007 a slew of Italians had blue LED dust caps.  Quite striking in a bunch - like demented fireflies.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight
