Tom speaks wisely, as always. The plastic bits would be what scared me off the Peugot. I did sell the Velosolex, as much as I liked it. The Raleigh International took its niche and we were having space issues. Ultimately the Velosolex was purchased as a 28mm fast commuter bike with fenders, and it didn't have space for the fenders. It was also on the small side. The Raleigh took its spot. It ended up going to a very cool art school girl with a vintage bike fetish...so its in good hands.
Eventually I'll find a French love. I have time to wait for the right deal.
