Bikes: Trek Émonda, 1961 Follis (French) road bike (I'm the original owner), a fixie, a mountain bike, etc.

My First Road Bike - 1962
Mine was and is a Follis (French, from Lyon). I got it when I was 14, in the year 1962. The frame, forks, brakes and levers, handlebar, rear shift lever, and front "suicide shifter" are original. (Recent change: I've switched the front brake to the right lever, which is how the bike was originally set up.)

I rode the Follis this morning.
