Put me in the posse too. Of course I also like Moultons and Flying Gates, so I guess there's no accounting for taste.

Anyway, what's the story with the Huret Duopar? I know there were three versions, alloy and titanium, all alloy, and alloy and steel. What are peoples opinions on these versions shifting, merits, and quality? Also what's the current market for these things these days?
