In college, I owned a Motobecane Super Mirage. Didn't see it on the list.

It was(is) a french bike...loved to try to say it with a french accent.

Some guy with a shed in the back sold these bikes and built them to your specs while you waited! He measured my inseam and had me select a desired frame color of the correct size, them proceeded to have me pick our derrailleurs, rims, chain type, tires, seat, handlebars, etc...and I wasn't a bike nut, so my roomate helped with some of the decisions.

I would guess that aside from the frame, the components were Asian-made...
