1980s Velos Fougere Complete Bike

I bought this last year but sadly it's just too big. It's a very nice example of an 1980s machine if you like this sort of thing - I do. It rides very nicely.

Frame is 58cm c-to-c toptube, 59cm BB-top of the downtube. It's 531 with gold-lined heart-cut spearpoint lugs. The paint is generally excellent but there's a bit of pitting and a small ding in the top tube.

Pretty much a full Campag groupset, Croce d'Aune (I think) and Chorus, aero brakes etc. All parts in excellent nick. Cinelli stem and bars. Wheels are Mavic Open 4 CD on Campag hubs.

Bike has a new chain and bar tape. Price £250, collect from London Fields.

Lovely looking and good price IMO.

I should add that I've changed the seat to a more period one.

Price drop to £230

Price drop already? Patience, young man.

Hi, am interested - any pics of the ding? Any chance of boxing if I arrange courier?

Thanks

Pretty... My size too... Two late 80s bikes is probably enough though, sadly.

Curious about what @Scilly.Suffolk makes of the gruppo... No clue what that RD is!

How has this not gone?

BUMPERS

Have shown interest here and by direct message but had no response - still interested if available.

If doesn't work out with flatstanly, I'm interested.

My friend needs this in a small....always the wrong size!

Sorry for the crap admin - I'm away with work but it's no excuse.

Pics of the ding en route to flatstanley - box and courier would be no problem. Cacofonix, I'll let you know how it works out.

Thanks for the patience!

He joined in February 2015 and was last active in June of the same year, I don't hold out too much hope. Sorry to hear about this.
