jambon, one more thing. Please don't call it a "10-speed-racer". It's a "road bike" with "drop bars" (or since there is only one bar, a "drop bar") and derailleur gearing. If it really were a racer the gears would be quite useless for touring!

Back in the 1960's publicists called any road bike from Europe a "racer". Back in the 1950's they called any bike with a 3-speed Sturmey-Archer hub an "English racer". It's sort of like calling your road-legal Datsun 240Z a race car. Sports car, yes. Race car, no.
