bump

speculative: did that ever sell?

looks like a crack in the crotch shot but I'm pretty sure it's just a scratch

I have no interest in vintage carbon or bonded aluminium steerers so selling this fork Maker: Aprebic Threadless steerer: 253mm offset: 45mm Weight: ~530g Brake 39-49mm Clearance: I put a 30c tubular in it and it just cleared. Id say 28c for a clincher Mucguard eyes Pics to follow £40 + postage

good finish - is that a brush paint job?

the important part of that comment is this ".... i like the bike so much i had the frame repaired and its still going strong. Thanks for the post..."

It will be fine for that. I use lowriders w/ rando bag and a tent strapped under the seat. Works fine. Works fine with just the bag. Works great at everything! I'm not sure the low trail thing is as important as the marketing department at Rene Herse would have us believe

No link to me but here's a 708 in manchester. respray and mismatched parts but decent price

I've been Shimergo-ing rapid rise stuff recently. Works great, better than with normal derailleurs in my opinion. Anyway, I've scored a few off the bay for low money but they all have long cages. I don't need long cages really and finding old mtb stuff with short cages is hard. I'm Interested...

I bought this frame on eBay and I'm not really interested in running vintage carbon forks. Also the clearance is less on the front than the back. Shown with 30c tubs Manufacturer: Aprebic Offset: 45mm weight: 560 ish grams Steerer length 250mm, threadless Steerer diameter 1" Brake drop: 49mm...

interesting. It's very similar in lots of ways, from the choice of lugs, dropouts, brakes, mounts etc. Did the builders a guylaine work anywhere else in the 70s?

It's the style of it i was commenting on. It's a squared off bit of (i guess) tube. as opposed to the formed bit of bar stock here

It's that rear cable stop that seems pretty unique https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256335164274 And the window in the bb dt lug plenty more, but not chrome chainstays.... https://www.rennrad-news.de/forum/threads/guylaine-reiser%C3%A4der-randonneure-infosammlung.177271/
