    Mystery French Bike ?

    I was just about to make the same comment re the MilRemo connection! Although, a seatpost is very interchangeable and other parts of the bike that would be more definitive, such as the fork crown, don't look like Bertin work. But it is a lovely fresh, clean looking French bike.

    Greg Fuquay

    An attractive bike with lovely componentry. I wouldn't be surprised if the seller is a RB'er due to the knowledgeable build and write-up. The yellow Jersey bike shop the seller refers to used to be in Camden, London and was a lovely place to go. It was bought by Cycle Surgery just after the...

    Nice Barn-find Marin

    Mind you, low-end back then is most definitely high end today. That's lovely tight welding on those tubes. The cute little gear indicators are just a bonus.

    My god, to hell with the Campagnolo cranks - brutuskrombi - we both joined Retrobike on exactly the same day, seven years ago!!! We're practically brothers!!!

    What would the difference be? Is Euclid supposed to be better?

    Bromwich 531 fillet brazed

    I hope it still gets a new owner who appreciates it. It is a lovely frame.

    1985 Peugeot PH501

    That looks absolutely lovely. I can't believe how spotless that chrome-work is and the colour really works for the bike. It looks like it has benefited from Peugeot's in-external brazing technique to produce those super clean tube joins as well. And congratulations with sticking with the...

    Reynolds 853, fillet brazed, Condor

    Hi there Kalex, I think Mynchiboy noticed that the clamp bolt has been removed in the current photos yet the post is still in situ leading to the impression that the post is stuck in there. Somebody could always ask the current seller if it'll come out but I'm not sure I'd trust the answer.

    Reynolds 853, fillet brazed, Condor

    Re: Re: Good spot Jim! Fossala over in the road section also noticed this hence my post. Good old Retrobike for keeping the scammers at bay (excuse the pun)!

    Reynolds 853, fillet brazed, Condor

    I also posted this in the road section by mistake and it seems there that 'fossala' noticed the whole bike had been for sale only a few weeks ago for £180!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Condor-bike- ... 7675.l2557 And in the original sale the frame is clearly marked up as a 14" frame! So, the...

    Reynolds 853, fillet brazed, Condor

    Re: Re: That's a very good point about the seatpost. It's a strange thing to leave in the frame seeing as everything else has been stripped out. Maybe somebody could contact the seller to elicit another one-word reply!

    Reynolds 853, fillet brazed, Condor

    I popped an ebay enquiry over to the seller and received the attached reply. He's not the most chatty of sellers but does seem to be willing to confirm the 18" size.

    Reynolds 853, fillet brazed, Condor

    Everybody seems to be looking at this frame-set (14 viewed per hour according to ebay) but I couldn't see it listed here. It's advertised as an 18" frame-set (although it looks much smaller than this) which looks to be constructed to the highest order. This seems to be an artisan, and slightly...

    Raleigh Team SBDU Team Bike, Reynolds 753r

    I'll admit that Raleigh's SBDU bikes are not my speciality but if the frame number tallies up then this is a lot of bike for not much money. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-Team ... SwAdhcbXAR

    Shimano XTR FC-M952 Crankset - Renovated - NO MORE FOR SALE

    Re: Shimano XTR FC-M952 Crankset - Renovated That was a very interesting read for how you breathe life back into these lovely chainsets. Beautiful workmanship if you don't mind me saying.

    Wippermann connex chains

    Madmax - Go for it, it certainly can't hurt, and at least that'll be a brand-itch scratched if you're not happy. If I had any advice it would just to keep a beady eye on the chain wear as the chain I had looked immaculate even after it was killing the rest of the drive-train. Xerxes - now we're...
