This is one of those bikes: a \u003cstrong\u003e12-speed\u003c\/strong\u003e French road machine in black, built from \u003cstrong\u003esteel\u003c\/strong\u003e in an era when frames were brazed by people rather than bonded by machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteel road bikes from this period ride in a way that is genuinely difficult to buy new today at any sensible price. The frame flexes just enough to take the sting out of rough pavement, holds a line beautifully through corners, and stays comfortable on a long ride in a way that stiff modern frames simply do not. It is why riders keep coming back to them forty years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one has been kept ready to ride rather than parked as an ornament.
