My friend is interested in selling her single speed conversion and has asked me for some advice on price, but as it was built by her father a few years ago in France, I'm a bit clueless as to parts/value and was hoping you guys would be more knowledgable.
The frame is an old blue racer seemingly built by D Lenté - I have no date - around 55cm bottom bracket to top tube. It was converted into a singlespeed with new parts. I only had five minutes with the bike earlier and from what I remember/noted down:
Unidentifiable rims with Sachs-Maillard hubs
Mafac Competition brake set with Shimano V-brake levers model BL-M420
Shimano Dura-Ace seat post
Gipiemme Dual Sprint pedals
Shimano cranks
Planet X derailleur
Old Brooks saddle, pretty beautiful.
I have attached a few pictures (the old frame is a bit rusted from what I could see but there's no dents/bends anywhere to compromise it's strength). Any information on the frame or individual parts (from the very limited information I gave) would be great, and ideally she'd like a figure to try and sell for. Its a good runner - a bit big for me - it got me to Brighton and back with ease.
The photographs are my friend's, but I am able to take more detailed/specific part pictures and collect more information if needed.
