After a year of lurking and several failed attempts at posting I would like to introduce myself.
I grew up in Belfast N Ireland where I rode with Cyprus CC. I immigrated to Canada in 1970 and now live in Ottawa and still can't get used to the Canadian winters!
My love is French Road Bikes from the 70's and 80's

Peugeot PX10 circa 1973
Mercier (Model?) 531 DB Brooks Simplex seat pin Mafac Competition Stronglight 105 bis Simplex SLJ

Vitus Carbon 3 with Mavic 80's vintage SSC
Gitane 531 with Vitus fork ends and Mavic 90's SSC
Other interests include B&W Photography, British Military Watches and Sheaffers PFM fountains and Modern History
I really value the information I have gleaned from the CR list and hope that I may be able is contribute to the pool of knowledge
