Not that it really matters much to me. I'm not restoring it. In fact, I'm going to build it up as a single speed. But, it's a slow Friday and I'm curious.

Class act nlerner was kind enough to alert me to the sale and collect it with his porteur. Tres Francois!







It was sold as a Tour de France model, but astute member Rootboy noticed a few details that aren't correct. The paint doesn't look all that great, but someone put a nice set of decals on it. It has Campagnolo dropouts and hanger. Threads are French. Neal kindly took some measurements for me.
