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!
