lets face it, there are far more bikes out there than we are ever going to own, but we can still appreciate !

@woodbutcher the Torpado looks interesting, not sure about the mixte, is there damage on that top(?) tube?

You might be right about damage, difficult to tell. The Torpado seller is not enthusiastic about shipping to France, just have to keep looking l guess.

Ooh, that's beautiful, and it just so happens that I have family not too far away who could almost certainly pick it up for me. It's probably just as well I'm a bit skint at the moment, as I'm already struggling to fit my current bikes in the house (and I only have five!)

Very true. I'm all in favour of modern developments, especially as it's helping to get more and more people into cycling (it's very pleasing to see so many youngsters round here with bikes, though it's a shame it's only the boys). But it's painful to see so many beautiful old machines going unappreciated and neglected.

did a quick search on Maurice Selbach and found this:

I love the introduction on his brochure!

Now that is a really nice bike just look at the frame and lugs, pity theres no postage option or i would have to make room for another toy.
