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

 

[The History Man]

Voted for the weirdest. No surprise there then.

 

[Woz]

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]

the Peugeout is wonderful !

Understated elegance; it's the Berthoud for me.
