Been on a break. I had meant to post about this bicycle a while ago. The bicycle photo seen below I found while reading through Mike Berry's
Bike Specicalites blog a few months ago. With this bicycle Mr. Barry and a friend rode the Raid Pyrenean in 1981, which is a 710 km ride from the Atlantic coast of France to the Mediterranean Sea across 18 cols (mountains/climbs/passes) through the French Pyrenees.

This bicycle incorporates some great features including a three arm T.A. crankset, Sanyo bottom bracket mounted dynamo, brazed on centre-pull brakes, pantographed stem and I especially like the custom rear rack. I have finally obtained a frame for this project and have decided to add some braze-ons to customize it. I will begin posting my progress again shortly.
