Didier Louis
 
A guy at work want to give me a Didier Louis fully mounted in Campy, I got no picture, and can get it out his shed till all the snow melts.

I'm quite exited about it but don't know nothing about Didier Louis bikes, anyone knows a little something?

thanks

Sounds interesting. A quick search turned up some mixed results.

here are the informations:

"Didier Louis started his frame-building business in Le Flers, Normandy in 1975, and in the early 90s moved to the Parisien suburb of Montreuil where he took over the workshops of the renowned builder Bernard Carre. He also opened a large retail shop in the town, at 10, Place de la Fraternite. He also sponsored a racing team in France, using only Russian amateurs.Didier also supplied frames to better-known riders such as Marc Madiot, Thierry Marie and Charlie Mottet.
His best known model is shown in this catalogue picture - a short-wheelbase road bike using a shallowly curved Vitus Super 981 seat-tube. When delivered the tube had a short length of straight tube at the bottom end so that it could be used in a normal bracket without the need for either "blacksmithing" or bronze-welding"
