First of all I'd like to thank those who said hello both publicly and privately after my initial post.
Now on to topic: one of the most beautiful bikes I ever saw was a "Paul Egli" made in Switzerland. I saw the bike circa 1971-72 in the Detroit area. It had nervex lugs, and was made with Reynolds 531 DB. The paint was unique--a beautiful deep metallic blue that faded into white at certain points and LOTS of two color pinstriping everywhere. Oddly I can't remember if it had any chrome or not, But it was obviously a high quality bike.
I've never seen another Paul Egli since then and can't find out anything about this marque on the internet although I've learned that Egli was a Swiss bicycle racer so I'm assuming the bike was named after him.
At any rate I'm wondering if anyone else here has seen or owned a Paul Egli and could share some info on the company's history etc. Even better would be a link to some photos of the actual bikes.
Thanks in advance ,
