As soon as I discovered you could get Talbot badged frames in France I've kept my eye out for one on ebay.fr since it's my surname. Quite a few 56cm come up but that's a bit small. This one is 57.5cm which is still smaller than my current 80s framed fixie (59.5cm) but it'll have to do!
Arrived in the post from France today. A few cosmetic scuffs but not too bad and the main decals are in decent condition which is the main point :)
Not sure if it's 531 or 501 or something else entirely. Frame says Made in France so I expect the BB etc. will be odd sizes. The frame and fork weigh about 3.7kg and I want to try and keep the fixie build under 9kg if I can but that might be pie in the sky. Progress reports as and when :)
