=0D =0D I notice that French bikes have the names and addresses of their origina l owners engraved in their stem caps. Does anyone know the history of this law and is it still in effect? Was this a federal requirement o r just local to Paris? I recently acquired a frame from Alex March an d note that the stem which came with the bike, does not have the owne rs name on it. The frame is a G. Dujardin and was most likely ma de in the late 1960's. =0D Comments?
