Victoire Cycles Randonnieuse

Victoire Cycles Randonnieuse
Clambering over rock beds and through snowfields on a fully-packed fatbike is all well and good, but nothing can compare with the glory of carousing French roads on a full-dresser randonneuse road bike.

Victoire Cycles last project was to create a tribute to the Golden Era of frame building, but with modern conveniences; A Rohloff internal rear hub, for instance, with it’s natty handlebar-mounted twist-shifter, and the SON dynamo front hub and lights.

Without luggage, the weight comes in at 13.4kg, complete with pump, lights, fenders and racks. That’s pretty comparable to any modern tourer, but as far as style goes, Victoire’s Randonneuse takes the gâteau.  You can read more about the details of this bike on CycleEXIF
