How do you evaluate Rando-Cycles and Gilles Berthoud? Although they may not have tradition, It seems that they build the randonneurs well. And, I think that Follis is continuing building the randonneurs. I have seen the latest catalog of Follis several years ago. The beautiful randonneurs were living there. They have very decorative lugs (Finition Prestige, Ajoures main, Prenom en relief chrome) , fenders, custum rucks and lighting system.

By the way, I received the VBQ about two or three weeks ago safely. I enjoyed it, especially Interviews with Mr.Csuka . Thank you very much.
