eBay and Craigslist finds

Buy it Wim, because I want to, but really shouldn’t.

Parbleu, why isn't the seller someone from a Slavic country, only speaking his mothertongue? French is our second language, making it easy mailing the guy and ask if he wants to ship to Belgium. :)

@Sig_Arlecchino Mavic 500, yes. Bearings spin like new, incredible.

I have 520s on my cyfac, smoothest hubs ever...

Lovely and always wanted a Bottecchia, contacted the guy, let's see where this goes...

Well that's lovely. Would buy but it's got a super long top tube.

Waaw, that's a nice Serotta!

Do it! Would love to see this on here. I bet it would look great both as a team replica with full mavic or as a neo retro.

let's see what the guy says..

he doesn't say a thing to me. Did he give you an answer, @anidel?

nope :-(

would this https://www.ebay.com/itm/KIT-cadre-v%C3%A9lo-de-piste-TIROUARD-artisanal-track-frame-THIROUARD-Durifort888/152807739114?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 be worth getting with 37€ shipping?

Info on the tubing here: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/France/Vitus_history.htm (durifort 888 is the base set of the late 70s)
As far as I can tell Jean Thirouard Cycles was a bike shop in Bourges, France. Whether he made frames himself in small quantities or just bought frames himself and put his decals on them I cannot tell.
See here a J. Thirouard badged Vitus 979 : http://www.vintagevelo.co.uk/shop/vintage-bikes/vitus-979/
Bear in mind that although it comes with a headset (jdd) and bottom bracket (bdp) the fork and BB may be French threaded meaning finding replacements would be more difficult than normal.
26.4mm is also quite an odd seat post size.
The frame doesn't look to be too special but if it's going to fit you and you are prepared to deal with the possibilities of odd French sizes and threads then I don't see why not.

hey thanks for the info! and yes the weird french standards could get really annoying :( also, other than the ethos of being an actual track frame, it probably wouldn't be much of an upgrade from my current conversion setup tbh. but it looks so cooool :/

And prob use a 22.0mm stem instead of 22.2.
