Very elegant. It felt very similar to a Dutch bike I had just ridden but had a slimmer frame. It was on sale for only $200!

Also French. Bought by myself new in 1972 at a LBS that didn't care enough not to sell an ignorant high schooler a bike that wasn't way too big. Cost $100 at the time. It's got a bent seatstay that might be able to be straightened. IF it wasn't bigger than I'm now willing to ride. This is a bike that had the paint ridden off it.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-38770284997752601682009-07-08T23:42:57.940-05:002009-07-08T23:42:57.940-05:00Yep.

I would ...Yeah, riding is a great stress reliever!<br /><br />I would think that in that price range, a nicer used bike might be be a better way to go, if you can find something appropriate. It seems like you're looking into that already.Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-72465443095488582472009-07-08T22:10:30.763-05:002009-07-08T22:10:30.763-05:00Steve-Now you've got me curious.

Not very helpful really, when I think about it.<br /><br />Steve A - I know 21" is a little big for a 33" inseam, but with the sloping top tube, don't you think he could get away with it? I did notice that there aren't many stem options here with this type of cycle...RANTWICKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394479078513545568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-28498420104729085572009-07-08T21:02:39.046-05:002009-07-08T21:02:39.046-05:00Oh, I forgot to ask... is that Overton Park?Oh, I forgot to ask... is that Overton Park?Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-74190243892130949272009-07-08T21:01:36.306-05:002009-07-08T21:01:36.306-05:00That's a nice lookin' bike.That's a nice lookin' bike.Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-61349387642701646582009-07-08T20:50:12.228-05:002009-07-08T20:50:12.228-05:00Nope, frames too big.Nope, frames too big.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-73355347196183346792009-07-08T20:06:43.701-05:002009-07-08T20:06:43.701-05:00Hey Steve, my inseam is 33".Hey Steve, my inseam is 33".Rat Trap Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123315525301010775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-31911486895630956762009-07-08T19:14:47.715-05:002009-07-08T19:14:47.715-05:00What is your inseam?What is your inseam?Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.com
