Looks like I was off by a year - the Bleriot run ended in 2008 - for those interested, there's a link to that thread on the Bleriot page I referenced https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/mQqL-yBsg_Y
It was kind of an odd arrangement, as it was sold through QBP, which was the major US wholesaler of bike equipment at the time (they may still be...) As you likely know, they were the Taiwan-built version of a a Saluki, a model which got folded into the 650B end of the first version of the Hilsen. I'm not sure if QBP ordered a few runs, or if they just sold through the original order. Jim / cyclofiend On Monday, April 17, 2023 at 5:33:30 PM UTC-7 tob...@gmail.com wrote: > Thanks for the info.
