This “Hall of Fame” seems to feature volume-built bikes. No excuses are needed, except perhaps for mine that are anything but.

But I’m surprised no owner of a French randonnuese (spelling?) has posted, nor one of the fine more recent US versions such as J. P. Weigle, Mark Nobillette, M.A.P., Jeff Lyon/L’Avecaise, and so forth. Seems to me that the French really pioneered and developed the sport touring bike back in the 30’s-70’s, and those Americans are continuing a very worthy pursuit.

We should acknowledge @gugie’s contributions. I guess I touched on that earlier, and his variations on the Raleigh Gran(d) Sport(s), “Big Red” and many more in other’s hands deserve visibility in this HoF.
