mercier
unfortunately for me i was really interested in this little baby, but due to geographical restrictions i was unable to attempt the purchase, fortunately for david [winona] i passed it on to him and he decided to pick it up. for only $112- it is almost as good as that old speedwell from orange that got away for $145. oh well...

peugeot update.
still confused. i am really interested in setting up a grandpa touring bike. the peugeot is the candidate but i am still confused.

that black bike
