Thanks Nicolas.

Another glorious bike, so wonderful to see. His site is a permanent browser bookmark of mine.

I'm now always really keen to know what's next and keep returning to see the next chapter, as it were.

Tim

Really great post. Did you notice the oddities on that bike? The gold striping around the lugs...and the only partially chromed chain stay? Really great stuff...

Stephan,

Also interesting to see no race number tag.

Nicolas,

A super bike. I did see this one and wondered if it was the same machine that was on Ebay France last December. That machine went for about 1,500 Euros.

I'm continually amazed at not only the collection but the frequency that it builds. It's a wonderful resource and virtual museum.

Thanks for letting us know.

Tim

Emile has a new blog :

Look for his last Gitane update : his brother Hubert's bike from 1968 ! Gorgeous.

Nice vintage jersey too.
