Is there another term for french touring bikes?

A good friend of mine is really into them. Can´t really say much else as it´s not my expertise. Although I must say they do look cool!

 

[Guinessisgoodforyou]

Very nice, good taste

 

[Dr Dremel]

Yeah sorry for the crappy phone pics. He sent me some nicer shots, but I can´t find them ATM. I´ll send him the link to this thread.

Wise choice....more practical and most importantly stylish
And don't forget the flaps....leather tongues from old shoes

A bit earlier than mine, 58 I think with side pulls and suicide front shift, makes me wonder if the Peugeot Pro riders would have chucked on mudguards for winter training
