Bikes: 1986 Alan Record Carbonio, 1985 Vitus Plus Carbone 7, 1984 Peugeot PSV, 1972 Line Seeker, 1986(est.) Medici Aerodynamic (Project), 1985(est.) Peugeot PY10FC

I only have two C&V bikes in my collection, if you can call it that......
Just really looking for one more to top it off and they are down to any of three bike framesets.

1) Mid 80's Columbus tubed Gitane Pro.
2) Mid 80's Peugeot PY10FC.
3) Mid-late 80's "Lozenge" tubed (Aero) Vitus 979.

If I find any or of these in 54 to 56cm size and in really good (preferrably close to mint or even NOS so no refinishing or new decals will be needed) condition and at a price I can afford at the time I do find it, I could be done with my collection.
I pretty much have all the French components to build up any of these bikes. Except for the seatpost that will have to be determined (size-wise) when the frame is aquired.

Thought of doing at least one high line All Italian bike last year as the last/third bike in my collection, but just got turned off by the really high prices for components and parts that come with it (never mind the frame....). So that foray into 80's Italian bikes is cancelled indefinitely, unless I dig up some gold nuggets one day in my backyard or something...... And nahhhh...I'll never get into new "modern" bikes with brifters, ergo bars, and compact frames as I just can't get over their ugly (to me) aesthetics.
