Did I catch that right? Did you say you were in Barcelona, Spain? I am surprised to learn that the bike came with 27" wheels there. I would have thought it would have been sold with 700C. Being in Spain, I would think that the tire choices for 27" wheels would be limited. I think that the humble UO-8 with a good set of wheels should be a good bike. One thing that I like about these older and modest french bikes is the longer wheelbase and nicely curved fork. I think these and the well developed geometry, makes them great all around bikes.
