Its a classic french bike boom bike. Nothing all that spectacular about the ride, but I can ride it for miles and miles with great comfort. Its basically similiar to a Peugeot UO-8. The bikes of this era had relaxed tube angles, lots of fork rake, and lots of clearance for fenders and racks. And yes they came in a huge assortment of colors. I have replaced the wheels with alloy rimmed Normandy hub wheels. Added Sugino Mighty cranks, Brooks Saddle, VO fenders. All but the fenders came from donor bikes that I harvested the parts, or rebuilt and flipped. So many times I have thought of selling it, but just cant. Its my go-to bike thats great for all kinds of riding, road or path.
