I think that the Lapebie bikes built for the general public in the late 40 and into the 50s were built by Mercier, down in St Etienne.This company seemed to have a monopoly on the use of top Pro brands, including the Pelissiers and Gauthier.
I have a couple of not-too-bad- Lapebies which look very much like a couple of my early Merciers. So if I decide to sell them on Ebay should i just sell the Lapebies, or all the four...or should I wait until memories of Aldo's "Pic of the Day" for the 3 June 2005 have long since faded , as current demand for such frames might have been badly blighted
Gee, Thanks, Aldo
