I watched Court's video about the Moustache Lundi 26 and it was really chilly out there, so I think he and @Chris Nolte might have missed a couple of the more 'subtle' points about the naming which might make the lineup easier to understand for the US market.
First off, a comment about the shape of the handlebars. The handlebars are signature Moustache design and made to look like... a moustache. That's why they're shaped like an M. Many bikes in the Moustache lineup follow this same basic principle, but with some variation on the theme.
Second, the names. A lot of the bikes are named after days of the week. Moustache Dimanche (Sunday) is meant for Sunday strolls. The Lundi (Monday) is meant for groceries, commuting, etc.
It has occurred to me that it might be easier to understand the lineup by using the english weekday names for the US market. Moustache Monday is something everyone is going to understand and be able to relate to. Ditto for Moustache Friday, Saturday, and Sunday models. But then again, it might sound more exotic if you use the French names.
I was surprised that this particular model was selected for NYC. Last time I visited there were massive potholes in New York and a suspension fork would have seemed like a need-to-have. But I guess times change...
