The Cycling Reporter: Herbsaint Sazerac

[Eric Marth]

Hi all – I just watched the French Dispatch after a long wait for it to arrive to streaming services. I was delighted, as always, by a new Wes Anderson movie. 

Owen Wilson plays a writer who explores and reports from a fictional French city by bicycle. His handlebars are appointed with a small spiral notebook and he rides with a Leica M3 around his neck. 

I'm not a French bike enthusiast but I just had to figure out which frame he's riding. Turns out it's a Manufrance. Apologies for three non-drive-side photos, that's how I found them!

Excellent! I loved the movie.

As a film camera collector, I appreciate both the bike *and* the Leica!

I’m looking forward to seeing this. I love Wes Anderson movies and adding bikes into the mix just makes it that much better.
