@edscoble. Wowee! the classic French randonneur and cyclotouriste bikes have now caught on in a big way in the US and Japan (once again, I'd recommend any bike nut to subscribe to Bicycle Quarterly at www.vintagebicyclepress.com). New builders have sprung up in their dozens, and parts are being replicated (or recommissioned in the case of TA cranks). As ever, the British market is conservative and slow to change. The resurgence in interest in classic steel road bikes may help to kickstart the neo-classic craze which is sweeping the rest of the world.
