Peugeot ?

Last year, looking for parts, I found them in Canada. Quebec IIRC. Peugeot bikes
are no longer made in France. Canada had some parts.

I think they still sell cars, but not bikes. If you want an old Peugeot, try
eBay.

I don't know about Peugeot, but you can still get a cheap and
cheerful all cromo brand new Motobecane from bikesdirect.com for $325
bucks including shipping, if that's French sounding enough for ya.
Room for fenders and downtube shifters, and it's red. Oh my!

And made in China/Taiwan with inferior components... I would stay away from
those.

like a lot of not so cheap Treks, Giants, Marins...

Sora components, and cheap but fine Tektro brakes. Same as most sub 500
dollar bikes. Perhaps you have something against the Chinese and
Taiwanese? Since they manufacture fine stuff if that's what you want,
you want crap, they'll sell you crap My road bike has great riding
Taiwanese tires--no flats for 3000 miles. I can't say that for any
European brands I've ever used.

Sorry if it's not made with "fine French craftmanship" LOL, but for
someone who knows their size, can assemble it themselves, and is on a
tight budget--I can't think of a finer bike for under $500 brand new.

Yes it's not a "real" Motobecane, but it's got some of the old vibe: it's
quality steel, handles light touring, and has a pretty relaxed frame.

I would have bought one if I'd seen it a year ago when I was restoring my
current ride.
