I'm new to the List.

David Allen, Marietta Georgia. Working as an Environmental Consultant with a Very large Insurance Company. Moved to Atlanta area in 1984. Lived in Greensboro during the early 1980s. In-laws live in Kernersville, NC, outside of Greensboro.

Bikes Formerly Owned -

Late 70's Motobecane Mirage - Purchased wrecked for $50 in Greensboro NC in 1982.

Bikes Currently Owned -

Mid 70's Peugeot UO-8 - Rescued from the Goodwill store. My 12-year old son was totally amazed that I could buy a bike for $10. White, leather saddle, Simplex (front), Mafac, Rigida Chromolux in rear, etc. Work in progress and cleaning up nicely for such a small investment. I know this bike is not a collector. Somebody put a Shimano 105 Rear Derailleur on this one.

1975-76 Mercier 200 - Green, detailed painting around lugs. Chromed Simplex Dropouts, Simplex, Mafac, Pivo etc. All original. Sweet. Also a work in progress and cleaning up nicely. I will be looking for advice on this one as the bike has the original AVA rims for sew-up tires. I'll need to get some other wheels but I want to keep the bike as original as possible. Any advice will be appreciated.
