Jeanne Longo Bike Frame
I picked up a bike for my wife. The original owner purchased it on the east coast. Before they painted it, it had Jeanne Longo stickers. There is no badge or anything to tell me what the bike is. Can't find a number under the BB. It does have the smaller front wheel and larger back. Owner also said it was made of Tange, has a lugged frame and very light for it's age. Help me with any info I can post a couple pictures soon. Very interesting bike.

Proportional bicycles with a smaller, 24" front wheel for shorter females were popular in the late 1980's. Longo did have her own brand at this time and did offer proportional models, so there's is no reason it can't be one. More pics may help us to narrow doen the timeframe.
