About the "race-proven quality" of fancy Euro frames:  a local club got
Team Gitane frames for most of its riders.  Very pretty, nice riding
bikes -- only problem was, the chainstay broke on over half of them before
the end of the season.  Right back at the dropout -- same place on every 
bike.

Not a horror story: the importer cheerfully replaced the frames, nobody
crashed, nobody injured.  But still, fancy isn't always best.

And I still love French bikes.
