Can you tell me anything about Bertin Bicycles?

I just saw this bike in a shop near my house and i thought it was absrolutely beautiful. I am thinking about getting it but i really dont know anything about bertin bikes so i was wondering if anyone could clue me intowhat kind of bikes they made. I didnt take a picture but it is a baby blue road frame with the decals in great condition and a really curved fork (one thing i dont like about it, but it is kind of classy). The store put it on hold for me for a week and is going to charge me 50-75 dollars for it. What i want to know is if it is a quality frame and if it is worth the cost to fix it up. Also anything about the company would be dandy. Thanks!

P.S. Also, i am not sure if it is pronounced Bare-Teen or Burr-Tin or something else so that would be helpful too cause i dont want to make a fool out of myself when i talk about it.
