• Hi there, while this probaly isn't pre 1950s exactly, I think its fair to post here.

    It seems to be a C. Bertrand from London and I got it from @Foreigner65 in October last year. Had already collected some fixed gear 650b rando/touring build, I realized that the rear is (still) slightly off alignement and all my 120mm wheeleset are sitting a few mm to the left.

    So, I will have someone take care about this alignement issue and see where I am going from here. Possible it will get 700c rims (32mm are no problem, even 40mm are barely fitting) and I am eyeballing one of those lovely fillet brazed "fingerling stems" made in the states by analog cycles/Alex Meade Cycle Works. Though not period correct, but sweet...

    Cheers,
    Nora

  • I think one of the GB spear steams would be nice, but I gather you want modern 31.8 bars fitted?
    Also that one ^ is 30% + upright? It does not look right IMO.
