1959 Jensen. Built (as it was originally) as a French-style Randonneur bike (see www.vintagebicyclepress.com for more on these). Fully 531 butted of course, 58cm.
Stunning restoration, with paint by bob jackson's. Mostly French components including Stronglight 49D (with rare guard ring), Berthoud mudguards, TA racks, vintage French lights, powered by BB generator, all working. Leather hand-stitched bar sleeve on GB randonneurs. Milremo stem, was painted with frame. Large flange hubs with Mavic MA2 and paselas, MAFAC Racer brakes and levers. Rare Barelli pedals. Lots of lovely stuff all over the bike. A dream to ride!
Very sad to let this one go, but needs must! Daughter's college comes first.
£995. No silly offers.
Handlebar bag and 'decaleur' (support on stem bolt) not included.
Honey Brooks saddle £40 extra, will not sell seperately.
Can deliver London or A1/M1 corridor. Too posh to post!
Note that pics show 35mm Michelin world tour tyres fitted. These can be supplied instead of 28mm paselas if you wish.
