History:
This bike is a beauty. I acquired the frame on ebay, it was in pretty poor condition, with lots of surface rust and some of the parts were missing: the derailleurs, wheels and the crankset only had one ring. I kept everything original, and sourced the rest of the parts to match the era. The frame and forks all all Reynolds 531, a classic tubing that will never disappoint you! The bike has some interesting parts, like the Stronglight 49D crankset and its very specific way of attaching the chainring, the saddle, bars and stem are all Cinelli which is also unusual on a french bike. I suspect this bike has had a few modifcations by his previous owner. The ebay seller told me that it was ridden by a pro racer. Bike ride extremely smooth and is also quite light for a steel frame, just above the 10kg bar.
