L'Hirondelle de Berlin



For old french bikes lovers. This Hirondelle Saint Etienne was locked on a street in Berlin center this august. Not a high end one but a cool bike in a good condition. A little bit rust but great paint.
I guess that this bike arrived in Berlin with french guys when french soldiers were with american soldiers in West Berlin. The funny thing is that this bike was near Checkpoint Charlie, on a rainy day... Mafac criterium brakes, lefol mudguards, luxor front light...
