So, you see there are many admirers of "The Beautiful French" in C&V:
One of my long sought, grail bikes was French, and somewhat special in that I could restore it and legitimately place Peugeot, Motobecane, Gitane, Mercier, Bertin or even a few other marquis' decals upon it. I did not seriously expect to ever own one, but recently found that there were some out there for very reasonable prices, and through a serendipitous chain of circumstances, found and purchased "just 1 more French Bike" as i told my wife. If you haven't guessed by now, I speak of the Vitus 979. This Wednesday, I picked her up. Pics will have to wait my return, since my phone aversion makes me hopelessly unable to use its capabilities and i left my camera behind. Don
