Son of the importer of the Valgan Bikes
The thread that you wrote about Valgan bikes was very special to me because it was my dad Anthony Gance who was the importer of this bike series into the United States in the 70's. My dad and his partner Valante imported the bikes from France, and the name Valgan was borne out of combining the first three letters of both partners last name - Valante and Gance (Valgan). The Valgan bikes were hand made in France and I remember touring the factory with my dad when I was only 10 years old. All the detail on the bikes was hand painted. Wow, thank you for the memories.......
