FS: 1950 Jo Routens Randonneuse (61x57cm)
EDITED!
Hello all,
As some of you know I am selling numerous bicycles as I wind down my cycling for a time and enter a new stage of life (parenthood). I have plans to keep a couple of bicycles around and thought this Jo Routens would have to go for sure because of its value. However, a friend of mine wants to provide a favor in exchange for a real estate transaction I facilitated, so he is "buying" the bike in order to let me keep it!
That being said, the Jo Routens is off the market. Cheers!

Typically, saddle height is measured as pictured, from the center of the crank to the top of the saddle.
I wish this frame were a little larger. I'm glad I don't have to worry about the temptation.

If I provided the "typical" measurement you suggest above it would be irrelevant without knowing the crank arm length, which I haven't stated. I think it's 175 but I'll have to measure it to confirm.

Dang, dang dang.... my size, and beautiful. Wish I could instantly sell about 5 lesser bikes to fund this one... but it deserves a bump for sure.

Pedal to the medal
If this was local, I'd love to give it a ride. The ST *might* be too tall for me, the TT would fit. On a bike of this pedigree and cost, I'd need to ride it before I buy it. GLWS!
