Thanks for the forum tip Clubman, I've just registered on there. Now giving google translate a hammering as my French is just about good enough to order a coffee and not much else.
You mention handlebars, and while I was looking for an early racing machine, that was one of the key factors for me. So many looked really uncomfortable to ride! No stem extension, and the drops curve round to your knees.
This 1915 Peugeot spotted on ebay was a good example. It ticked a lot of boxes in my search, but I think I'd struggle with those handlebars on long rides. s-l1600-2 by Mike, on Flickr
