I saw it in a post here on Bike Forum, a seven year old thread and the author had not signed on since posting a picture. I sent him an email and he responded! We negotiated a price that included shipping from Colorado to San Antonio. I had an identical bike in the early 70's until May 1982 (when it was stolen). It's very much a nostalgia/sentimental purchase, nonetheless it is a joy to ride.
One thing, and I distinctly remember this from riding my original Manufrance. The pads absolutely scream when braking hard. The wheels are true and stopping power is certainly not an issue, I can lock them up with a hard pull. Is it the rims, the pads, some treatment for the pads, or is that normal???
