Now at N+2 - Bernard MkII has arrived
Hi all
I've posted this at the Fixed and the Valuations fora, but it's now arrived on my doorstep so here it is. I got the price down a bit, but I'm dead chuffed. It's in brilliant original condition, and despite the mismatch in parts, is probably in the best state of any of my C&Vs! I've not dated it properly but late 70s I think.

Suggested knuckle tattoos: NOBR AKES. Do you have a velodrome nearby, or are you one of those daredevils who can survive riding brakeless in the streets?
Either way, what a cool find
Thanks for sharing your Euro-world exotica with us.

Thank you. Brake solution ordered. I was thinking about putting a different fork on with brake, but the DA headset is very happy where it is, so I'd rather not disturb it. We'll see how it goes.

Is the Stronglight 105 and actual piste crankset or an adapted road set? Have not seen a 105 piste before. I am reasonably sure they were available.

in image nr. five it can be seen there is no lands to accept an inner c/w. so it was either made that way or the lands were machined away...
wondering too

Frame looks bent everywhere. I'll take it off your hands for $20.
Great looking bike.
