I have been given an old Paris frame (with what I think are a number of original parts on) by
my father. I think it is either an Paris Homme, TDF or a Paris Professional road
model but I am not sure and can find very little info on the web about Harry
Rensch and Paris cycles. I wondered if anyone has any info on the bikes of the 50's (he bought it 2nd hand around 1958) or if you could point me in the direction of somewhere I can find some?
I would love to restore it for him but I want to try and confirm the model and the spec first. (if anyone knows if there are any records kept of the frame numbers that would be very helpful!):

I just joined this site so don't know if this thread is active. I suggest you start at http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/Paris.html

Do you have any photos? I have a pre-war Rensch (Paris) Tour de France unlike anything I've seen on the web. I'm going to post on a pix and request in the C&V forum soon.
