Hey, I love the website and have a few bikes that might be cool
enough to be posted. I noticed that Bertin is a little underepresented.
Here is a Bertin road bike that I picked up at a rummage sale a
few years ago for $30. It has/had early Dura Ace brakes, levers
and cranks; Huret shifters and derailers and Ideale saddle. I cleaned
it up and made it into a single speed and hung it up in my garage
for a few years. After I got ready for a new project, I sold it
to a "hipster" in Austin. The sale paid for a great weekend, but
the dura ace and huret parts were pristine - wish I'd sold only
the frame!
