Hi all,
I initially bought this bike in France for @Amey as he wanted some Mafac Racer brakes.
Since I stripped the bike, it was a good (rat) base for singlespeed conversion.
The frames is handmade with Reynolds 531 tubing, 54cm square so good for someone around 5ft8.
It was originally a deep pink colour but it has faded over time as it was left in the sun. There are darker patches where shop stickers / gear parts were fitted. Loads of paint scrapes and light rust but no dents!
I fitted a CLB front brake with new Jagwire pads, new Planet X black bar tape, new single chainring bolts and a new SRAM PC-1 chain. Also fitted a Condor crosstop lever with pink Jagwire outer brake cable.
Wheels are 700c clinchers - the rear wheel has a coaster brake which works very well. I have fitted brand new 700c x 38mm clincher gumwall tyres.
All in, a good pub beater / rat bike.
Both stem and seatpost move freely. The bottom bracket has no play.
Yours for £175 -> £160 -> £150 -> SOLD SOLD SOLD FOR £120
Test rides / Pick up from Stoke Newington.
