1994 Cycles Bouvatier Bike // Columbus SLX New 60cm frame in Celeste Blue // 2x7 Sachs New Success Mini Group // Serviced with new parts // SOLD

SOLD SOLD SOLD

Hi all,

I have this lovely Cycles Bouvatier bike going spare.

Size is 60cm, centre to centre, for both seat tube and top tube.
Tubing is the delightful Columbus SLX New. Colour is Celeste Blue.
The bike was owned by Jean-Luc Philippon, his name is still on the top tube (a very active cyclist organising local races, not famous unfortunately).

How old is it? Based on the information I have, between 1993 and 1995.

All BSA threads so no sweat for future upgrades.

The frame is from a (now defunct) french "vélociste" called Bouvatier Cycles in Malaunay BOUVATIER CYCLES, which started in 1982 and closed in 2001. Address was 48 Cite Clair Soleil - 76770 Malaunay
I can't say if it was built in house or imported from Italy like many were at the time.
Branding shows as CBouvatier or C Bouvatier if you look online.

• Made/ordered by Cycles Bouvatier in France, near Rouen in Normandy. Looks fillet brazed
  
• Dura-Ace threaded headset
  
• 3ttt bars & stem
  
• Sachs New Success gearset 2x7 speed with brifters
  
• Shimano RX100 brakes & 1055 chainset
  
• Wheels are visually paired clinchers but mismatched - Dura Ace first generation rear hub and Campagnolo front. Maillard freewheel
  
• New Schwalbe Lugano gumwall tyres in 700c x 25mm
  
• New bar tape and cables
  
• Pedals will be fitted but not the Look Keo one that are on the photo.
  
  

The only thing that lets it down is the seatpost bolt which is not the correct one.
I also have a silver 27.2mm seatpost which I will swap or include in the sale.

I am after £300 for the full bike. - SOLD FOR £250

Test rides from The City!

Cheers

Vince
