Only 8 bikes so I thought it shouldn't be too hard...

But I really don't know.... Berthoud, Peugeot or Blanc..... All lovely....

Re:

I love that Pascal, but Landsbee’s 1992 Gilles Berthoud is absolutely perfect.
Retro bikes don't get any better looking

Voted for the weirdest. No surprise there then.

Great month, nice to see something different.

Re:

There's two that speak to me - the Gilles Berthoud and the Peugeot:

-The Peugeot because I almost bought one with my Saturday job money when I was 16 and they were knocking them out at a good price at year end (they were all those 22" frames and I am 5'7"...I bought a 21" Cinelli instead as it was a better fit!).
-The Berthoud because it is everything that a mountain bike should be; clean lines, silver parts, amberwalls, subtle colour. Nothing flash, just class.

Re:

The Berthoud is delicious!

Ascio · Jul 25, 2014

the Peugeout is wonderful !

Understated elegance; it's the Berthoud for me.
