Follis 972. 35 years ago a girlfriend and I were hunting around Rutland, Vermont, for a bike for her. In a ski and bike shop we found the prettiest French bike I'd ever seen. It was made of Reynolds 531 DB in metallic blue-green, with pencil thin double-tapered seat stays, fat profile fork blades, Cinelli bar and stem, all Campy Nuovo Record, low-flange hubs laced to gold anodized Nisi tubular rims. It was light, it fit her perfectly, and it was on sale, so she jumped on it.
