    Vintage French randonneuer's and porteurs.

    Amazing! What is that crank and chainring? Incredibly refined for the early 1900s.

    Wanted Stronglight Model. 34 bottom bracket, 125mm

    Thanks! Somehow I can't find it on Ebay--would it be possible to send me a link? I see many of the square taper stronglight BBs, and a few model 34 axles, but none with the correct BSC cups. Thanks again!

    Wanted Wanted: Cyclo Benelux Mk. 7 RHS downtube shifter 1st style

    I'm looking for a right-hand side downtube shifter for a 1st generation Cyclo Benelux Mk. 7 derailleur. The 1st generation shifter has a gold-ish embossed top to it, see picture below.

    1953 Holdsworth Whirlwind

    Very excited to see what you do with it! I have one of these that I use as my primary road bike (Dura-Ace 7900 derailleurs) and really enjoy it.

    For Sale 1952 23" HETCHINS NULLI SECUNDUS

    Beautiful--in my opinion this is the nicest Hetchins lug pattern. Those Constrictor rims really have a very modern look to them.

    Maclean?

    Wow, yes. That is a Maclean Apollo. An amazing find. One of the most spectacular examples of ornate lugs ever produced.

    Wanted Williams c1200 crankset

    When it rains, it pours--kind of. There are now 3 right-hand Williams c1200 cranks available on eBay, all with mismatched left cranks. So I'll modify my wanted ad to just the left crank!

    Another 50's frame identity

    Quite possible this is a Dawes, the lugs look similar: https://dawescycles.wordpress.com/portfolio/1951-dawes-courier/

    Oscar Egg build now underway

    Wow, fantastic work. Love the color, very subtle and sophisticated. Interesting to see such thin, almost "pencil" chainstays on a French bike from that period. I had thought that was mostly a feature of UK bikes.

    Wanted Williams c1200 crankset

    Thanks, I do also like the Stronglight cranks very much and have those on other bikes. But in this case I was hoping to keep it entirely UK made (Tout Anglais?), so looking for the Williams cranks as an alternative to the ubiquitous CL cranks.

    Wanted Williams c1200 crankset

    As the title suggests, seeking a Williams c1200 crankset for restoration of a 1950's Ephgrave. Would also be willing to purchase a period-correct bottom bracket and chainrings. Thanks!!!
