    Looking for something with trad CX angles / level top tube, 65-68mm BB drop, not-too-short rear end and the cond isn't important as long as it's sound and not dented. With fork is good, or I can get a fork made to suit. To suit 6ft rider, mainly need the right TT/ST/HT dims. Anything about...

    European members, help request! (650B Randonneur wtd)

    Well they all look the same from a distance really..! They do look a little less road-proportional in the size I'd want, more like an old '84-85 MTB, but maybe that's why I like them.

    European members, help request! (650B Randonneur wtd)

    Hi Andy - 650B, just a fan of the French / Rando style and that was a part of it. Elegant bikes designed for long distances. Something a bit different to what I'm used to, that kind of thing. Plus I have a few 700C bikes already (new not retro rides). How could anyone not love something like...

    European members, help request! (650B Randonneur wtd)

    Hi all. Long-time lurker and appreciator of classic bikes here. I've always liked the idea of a retro project but never really had anything in mind that would actually get the use to justify it. I'm doing more longer road rides carrying some stuff for weekends away and have done a few road...

    Looking for a French Rando bike or F+F, 650B - for 6ft rider

    Had a search here, looking on French S/H sites but thought the retrobikers may be able to point me in the right direction. I'm looking for something that's at least partly compatible with some modern parts rather than a total (ie £££££) period rebuild, but one that will be done with a real...

    Ever notice... (steel isn't real anymore)

    Love that Groovy Cycles.. Got an old Brodie/Kona style about it. Had to comment on this tho, 631, 853 still made in Birmingham. The 520 and 725 tubes are made by a company in Taiwan who make cr-mo for a lot of bikes, among other meatl fabrications. No slave labour about it either.
