Gilles Berthoud Touring bike.
Shot at Cranky’s Bikes in Santa Barbara, CA.

Sitting on a display rack at Cranky’s Bikes is a really nice 55 cm Gilles-Berthoud Touring bike. It is a nice royal blue with dark khaki panniers. These are they types of bicycles that really get me excited. Just sitting there on the stand it looks like it is going somewhere. This steel-framed bike is just ready for an old-school trip around the world.
