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.
I was about to move there...before the current health crisis delayed my decision. Currently in Portland, Oregon, USA. Sorry, the original post was quite a bit longer! Also, I think I've been very lucky in my choice to buy this bike (14 years ago or thereabouts) because of how nice it has been to ride in both of its configurations. I'll probably never get rid of it!
