Bikes: Cheltenham-Pedersen racer, Boulder F/S Paris-Roubaix, Varsity racer, '52 Christophe, '62 Continental, '92 Merckx, '75 Limongi, '76 Presto, '72 Gitane SC, '71 Schwinn SS, etc.

Motorcycle frames are progressing to ever-greater use of die-casting, which lends itself equally to aluminum and to it's alu-mag alloys.

These bikes were at one time advertised by showing that the frame could be unaffected by driving a car over it!

The Geometry table suggests that perhaps only one frame size was offered, roughly a 55 or 56cm for the road version.

I have a white one in excellent condition, though it was built up with modest early-eighties components.
