[CR]Little Known Marques...

Hi all,

Last Sunday at the swap at Ted Ernst's in Manhattan Beach, I picked up a "LION RAPIDE", Belgian-made bike. Is anyone familiar with the marque? The frame is 531, and has pretty cool lookin' lugs & headbadge. Here are a few pictures: http://www.duane.kennard.com/lionrapide/lr1.jpg http://www.duane.kennard.com/lionrapide/lr2.jpg http://www.duane.kennard.com/lionrapide/lr3.jpg http://www.duane.kennard.com/lionrapide/lr4.jpg http://www.duane.kennard.com/lionrapide/lr5.jpg http://www.duane.kennard.com/lionrapide/lr6.jpg I'm guessing the vintage to be around '72, and some components are original, others aren't. Any info appreciated.

Cheers,
