Well, I'm the first one to post a bike on this page. As a co-owner of Focale 44, I had to post my bike to fill in this page before we put this website online. Andorran mountains are too steep to ride fixed, I have a freewheel on my bike.

- Wheels : old Mavic G40 rims, Mavic hubs, custom theaded female axles
- Steering : Thomson X4 70 mm stem, 31.8 mm flat bar

- Drivetrain : Truvativ Rouleur crank, TA 38T chainring, Sedis chain, 15T Maillard freewheel
- Brake : Dia-Compe Tech 77 lever, Tektro caliper
I am happy with this bike. Now, let's see yours, we're waiting for them.
