This one deserves mention - Liberia was a regional manufacturer in Grenoble, France. The ones in the U.S. mostly came in during the peak of the great Bike Boom as importers scoured Europe for bikes to sell. I rode the Clunker Challenge a couple of years back on the men's frame version of this and realized this was no ordinary French $100 campus 10-speed. You know how the French have a way with gas pipe? Liberia went a notch or two further, and they ride way better than they should. They also tended to do just a little bit more prep and little fussy details the better known makers missed, like fitting an axle stop on the left side rear dropout to match the adapter claw position, or the use of R.F.G. headsets, bottom brackets and hubs (only the first applies in this case, alas).

Or you could spend the $75 and snag it for the T.A. crankset with French BB AND what appear to be ALLOY M.A.F.A.C. guidonnet brake levers.
