Help identifying (presumably French) Jourdan bike frame
Hi,
looking for help identifying this frame I picked up with a couple wheels. Don’t have much info on it other than what’s in the pictures. Let me know if there’s any more info/pics that might help! All I know so far is that this is potentially a Liberia bike. And that it is likely something to do with the rider Christian Jourdan. Searching for the two of them doesn’t give me anything on google though. thanks https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4cb92cb4f.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...f9e6baaba.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6853b81cd.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a991a70d8.jpeg Campagnolo bottom bracket https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...c0edabbe9.jpeg Campagnolo bolt https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...cd0e9d040.jpeg R2 stamped on bottom |
I recognize the Alan marque (seat tube), but that's about all I have on this bike.

the cable guides on the top tube indicate early 80's, but the cable guides under the BB, plus the Fork, say later....the Lugs are basic stuff... forks get changed out for a number of reasons...it may be a home made frame by a first time builder...?
since no one here has info, i'd think Steel is Real Classic and Vintage Road Bikes on FB might be a next try...? |
don't know if Liberia was building FR bikes in the '80s at all but with BSC BB threading? it seems to have very thick paint which may hide some clues, would help to see what else is on the BB shell besides R2 or even if I read that much correctly. The "web" in the backside of the seat lug slot was a clue for some other frame ID, but cannot recall details, now, otherwise the only other small clue of note is the head lugs have a small point on the fronts which also could be helpful...but not to me. Do you know the seat post size?

Think you might be right regarding the paint, did think it seemed quite thick. Absolutely nothing else of note on the BB (R2 is correct) , unless I can take that plastic covering off. I'll have a look at that and let you know seat post size when I get back from work. Thanks! |
