Just this weekend I finished re-habing a very small framed Ficelle for my daughter to ride this season. This is the most French bike I've ever seen:Vitus tubes, Nervex lugs, TA cranks and BB, Huret drivetrain, Mafrac brakes, Lytard pedals, ect. Put it on the trainner, adjusted the DR limits, and it ran like a champ. She's grinding away on it now.
