That was the sad end of a once respectable marque. I seem to recall that Libertas had thithertofore made some serious racing machines, 531, Campagnolo, and so forth. I believe they were even used by some Tour de France team or teams.

Anyway, I like it, but not as much as I like Rambouillet or Atlantis.
