Two porteur bikes

The project bike and the Pereria porteur bike

I was riding the project bike over to QFC on a late-night errand when I realized that a parked bicycle I’d just gone by had cream hetres, shiny fenders, and a large bag. So I turned around to take a look and saw that it was a custom Pereira job with a nice porteur bag up front.

It was a nice bicycle, but I prefer the project bike, and not just because it has 7cm of saddle to bar drop. It’s nice to set up your own bicycle and not have to proxy your preferences through a third party.
