In June 2015 mrs non-fixie and I were at the Retroronde van Vlaanderen, where I noticed this beautifully restored bike. I'd never heard of the brand, but it looked quite interesting, so I took a picture:



Two days later fellow Retroronde participant Munny posted this on this very forum in the Belgian Bikes thread: Last christmas...

Ever since I've kept an eye out for a Teval in my size, knowing the chances of ever finding one were close to zero.

Fast forward to July 6th 2022. I went to pick up a Jabo frame I'd just bought, and the seller mentioned he had something else that might be of interest. Would I perhaps like a 61.5cm Teval randonneur frame?

Yes, I would.

It needs a lot of TLC, but if I ever looked forward to a winter project it is this one. While I go search for more information on the brand - all I know now is that Edouard Teval worked for Plume Sport before starting his own shop - I will leave you with these first pictures.
