I miss my red Louison Bobet bike and I wish I had a photo of it! I cannot believe no one took a picture of me with it! I have looked on Google but cannot find one. Does anyone know where I can get one for my scrapbook?
My Dad got me a white Fugi bike for my high school graduation, but it was never the same as my first love!
Here is some info from Wiki about Louison Bobet.
