, given his western Euro location ...... is he an
active collector? -- or (as the tone implies), they just happen to become available? This Bontekoe looks a tad small, so for Ms N-F? (54cm, square?)
Given the explanations and backstories, I vote active collector but
so understated.
'Chapeau!' on the new one. I like the fork crown and hope it polishes up beautifully.
Thanks. Close: 55 x 55. Mrs n-f might just be able to ride it, should she be so inclined, but it'll be a
very French fit.
And no, I'm not a collector. It appeared in the classifieds over six weeks ago, and just wouldn't go away. So I felt morally obligated to adopt it.
