Folks talk about Peugeot, Gitane, Motobecane all the time, I think the problem is the best production bikes like Urago rarely made it to the U.S. I always keep my eye out for Uragos and Hurtus since all the examples I've seen really have been one step better than similar models from other makers. Of course there are undiscovered and underrated marquees from most countries. The upside of the "undiscovered" beauties is that they can be had for a mere pittance. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Off to file some fillets in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
