This is a hand built hand brazed frame, you'll get the hand brazed frame with Huret forged rear drops (perfect for FG/SS conversion) the fork, headset, an alloy T.A. three piece crank that can be converted to a single, alloy bars, alloy stem, and a Phil Wood BB. Frame has no dents dings cracks or bends, 100% straight. Check the pics then let me know if you're in or around Philly so we can meet up. $200.00, $150.00 if you pick it up this weekend. All parts seen in pics but not mentioned are no longer available.

BUMP* For new info and price.

That's not a bad price. The TA crank could fetch a good fraction of the purchase price on eBay. The frame, while hand brazed chrome-moly, is no lightweight, and the proprietary Huret dropouts don't play well with other brands of derailleurs (although the Shimano CraneGS pictured will work). Not an issue if you convert to SSFG.

JohnDThompson, thanks! The frame may not be a lightweight but they do make one hell of a FG/SS conversion. I rode one for a long while and didn't feel heavy at all, matter of fact I built my first Sport Tourer FG/SS because the frames being offered were pretty flimsy, wanted something strong and tough to ride on the mean streets of Philadelphia. ;) What you say about the TA crank is true, but I'm trying to move all of my bikes and parts ASAP, getting out of the "collecting" part of the hobby so most things are going for more than a fair price. :) I used the Shimano CraneGS pictured on my Sport Voyageur. :D I'll take this moment to reiterate, all the buyer will be getting is the hand brazed frame, fork, headset, alloy T.A. three piece crank, alloy bars, alloy stem, and the Phil Wood BB. All the other parts seen in pics but not mentioned are no longer available.
