Last of the Mohicans?

This is a picture of Ernest Csuka. He still works every now and then is his sons shop in Paris. Ernest and his brother joined their uncle, Alex Singer, after WWII. They made the creme de la creme of touring bicycles during the golden age. Still today the Alex Singer shops makes bicycles the same way as they did back then. If you ever get a chance to visit the shop it is well worth it!!
