Vintage Rides Best - On the Gravel Trail with my Stronglight Altec

I take my Stronglight Altec on a gravel trail through Normandy, France, to see how this vintage bike performs on a rough track. The journey takes through the WW2 battle areas of the region.

I used to ride my 10 speed road bike on single track I just let some air out of my tires and went for it lol

I’ll try it! Cheers!

A very nice ride, beautiful scenery. Was that an old rail line converted to trail? I like the idea of riding a steel bike on gravel, solid frame, big tire clearance but I would definitely want more gears to tackle it.

Yes, it was an old rail line, I think you need at least 700 x 25 tyres!
