Well Norris, you have jogged my memory too. My second road bike was a Starnord, or was it Stanord? I bought it secondhand when I got to London in 1983. It was too big for me at 60cm and I gave it to mate when I found a 22'' all chrome Carlton Capella. I dont remember the kit on the Starnord but it was certainly all French and painted in a metallic French blue as well. I seem to remember it being crudely built and I dont miss it at all!
