Kevin: What is it about French bikes that you dislike so intensly? I have two Peugeots a 68 P 4 and an 84 somthing that I'am not really sure what it is,maybe someday I can get you guys to help me nail down the model,also a 72 Gitane Grand sport. Nothing wrong with any of them as far as I can tell,but then again I also have a 70 Lambert ,death fork and all which I also enjoy riding. I guess I just never met a bike that I didn't like, but I really would like to know what turns you off so completely to the French. Best regards, Ed Landreth
