c1932 Track bike built by a builder in a small village on the rousillion planes (villelongue de la salonque). Reynolds High Manganese Tubes, Caminade Stem (bars as well probably) and two wheelsets one with SADER super piste hubs laced to laroche pouchois wooden rims (in good straight condition...

This is a superb bike which judging by the wear on the pedals, BB, brake pads and frame has barely been ridden. I think this is from 1979-81 however it still has the date code and model no sticker on the BB so this can be deciphered. I think this model at least in France was number 3 in the line...

Hi In person this is probably the most visually arresting bike I have had. In the end I went all grey on the cables and handlebar tape - however when my good lady was using it - It was white and white and again looked superb. If it was my size it would be staying without a shadow of a doubt...

Here we have an extraordinary Bernard Carre built Fully chromed frame in quite beautifull condition. Full photos are available here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clovencoll ... 3074/show/ The chrome is in almost flawless condition there was one small spot under the top tube where it has...

It's funny you say that as afterwards I drove 6hrs down to Bordeaux to see a collector I know called Jean Michel Garcia and he is quite a serious collector as well as having raced semi professionally for a long time and at the same point in time Dominique raced. He firstly was very suspicious...

That is pretty much the way I feel about it - if I didn't have so many mouths to feed there is no way I would let this one leave. For me it is pretty much the epitome of all that was right about french lightweights in the early 70's. I have a mid 70's reynolds 531 framed Le jeune but in the...

This is the first of 5 bikes I am looking for a new home for (another Le Jeune, A didier louis cinelli lugged with a bendy seatpost took part in Le tour 79-82, a Rossin c1980 with split seat tube, and a Raleigh...) First I'm a bit biased as I love Le Jeunes and this one is a little bit...

Bendy Didier Salut, Montpellier is not that far at all - I drove to Rennes to pick this one up.... which was quite a round trip but stopped off in Bordeaux and spent the day with a collector there who has the most extraordinary collection of bikes I have ever seen under one persons roof - or...

Catalan Figueres will be rather different to how remember it - there was a massive forest fire a couple of months back and the countryside all around figueres is but a cinder now. The locals certainly consider themselves catalan and half my children are in catalan speaking classes - much to my...

Le Jeune with friend Merci, I hope to and not having to write in french - should make communication hopefully slightly more fluid than on the french forums... J'espere.. Tom

Hi I'm Tom and I live down in the communist part of the south of france in Catalonia. For the last year I have made the conscious decision to work with my hands rather than fingers on a keyboard and have been reconditioning - old road, randonneurs and track bikes from 1910 - 1980. I am going...
