Hello from Lyon, France
Hello All,
Seems I had joined this forums back in 2014. I didn't even rememebr that.
Finally decided to post in these. Moved to France recently and fell in love in with Vintage bikes.
Bought a Vitus 999 frame by Raymond Poulidor, not knowing what I was buying, but it changed my whole perspective of biking.
Got myself a Motobecane Super Champion Frame (only the frame) with the idea of making a build. Lets see how it goes
Going to rely a lot on this community to help guide me.
Cheers !!
