CR-listers,
I would like to apologize if it appears that I am relentlessly plugging my upcoming newsletter whenever the topic of French constructeur bikes comes up. Obviously, I do want as many subscribers as possible, not because I'll make more money that way (I won't make any on this project), but because it will allow better quality printing. Many of the questions were so general that a complete response goes way beyond what is appropriate for the list. The newsletter hopefully will fill that gap.
And in case you wonder, progress on the newsletter is going well. The first issue is in the layout stage now, hopefully in subscribers' mailboxes in (late?) August.
