I bought the bike from Paul brown, Renaissance man from Cali, bike racer, builder, shop owner, glass blower. he got the bike from gautier years ago. Paul said he raced on the polo fields golden gate park and in San Jose. I found one blip about gautier racing at garden city velodrome where he rode 16 miles without relief. any of you researchers find anymore I'd like to know. I suspect he was a very good amateur racer with a few professional races
