I've reluctantly decided she's go to go because I'm feeling a bit like Nicolas Sarkozy on it...Presidential with a beautiful mistress who's too big for me.
Really love this bike it's such a nice ride and beautiful frame, but it needs to go to someone that's the right size, and I need to move on...
It's got Bocana lugs, used to belong to a French policeman who paid about €1500 in today's money for the whole bike. He had Mafac Competition brakes, Superchampion rims...can't remember the rest but I might be able to get more info from the guy that sold it to me.
I'd like £170 for the frame & forks, including Stronglight Competition headset, Mavic BB and new SV971 decals from Cyclomondo (although they are a few mm bigger than the originals).
