Hi Chris,

I think that Jan's book and Peter Weigle's work did a lot to promote the interest in French cyclotouring bicycles. At least it did for me. The Japanese collectors have single-handedly driven up the price for many of the French parts and going toe to toe with them on ebay is a pain in my wallet.
