We have a lot of Peugots here as well. <br /><br />My Sprite needs a name, jayme. I've already had Dolorès (a brown 3-speed Raleigh) and Graziella (a silver mixte assembled here in Québec by Mikado), but I can't seem to name her. <br /><br />They are lovely things for city riding in places like Paris and Montréal where there are a few more hills and inclines than Copenhagen and Amsterdam.lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-10289585976483990322009-08-13T01:01:08.809-04:002009-08-13T01:01:08.809-04:00Do y'all know about the new Mixte Gallery?
