Anyhoo, here are some appetizers of my somewhat obsessive streetside bike photography:



Lots of good 650b stuff seen all over.

Did you or could you have brought any cool 650b tires back w/ you?
HELIUM?
Oh, I bet Peugeot was mad at them for that label. Okay... now I have a good idea for colors my future porteur, except mine will be a racy 700c one. Or 590? I think I have time to change my mind!
ZG,
I did not, it was possibly possible, but the good shops in Paris are off the beaten track. I did investigate getting 650B tires at the Carrefour (walmartish store) last year. See here for the report.
Ray,
What? I am pretty sure Helium was a subsidiary of Peugeot. I think it had a peugeot lion on the seat tube, you can see it in this picture when you look at the big size.
I did see that Lion on the headbadge, but later.
I did not realize there was a branding hierarchy, or a badge-engineering sales strategy with Peugeot.
I like Helium as a brand name.
And... another great chainguard.
I see a lot of lights on fenders but not too many bottle-generators. Lamp stayed put and gnerator got yanked off when it failed?
