I woke in the middle of the night and my brain got stuck on bicycles so I read some of Paul Fournel's "Need for the Bike." He wrote that he rode bicycles from Louis Novet, who built in Saint-Etienne, France. I don't see anything about Novet on the Internet. Does anyone know of a website with information about him? He may have been one of the thousands of small builders who made wonderful bicycles without recognition.
