Gorgeous restoration. Same seller has a Barra aluminum mixte which is even more spectacular. Make an offer...

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

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!

If anyone has one of these cottered bottom brackets, with British threading, please let me know. I would be interested in purchasing it for a reasonable price. Thanks!

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. Ironically, I have the left-hand side version of this downtube shifter, so I would be happy to trade them, or...

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.

Congratulations on the great deal! Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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!!!

And it's gone. Such an attractive lug design.

Thought you my like to see my Vitus 787 cyclocross, which I purchased from a Retrobike member. I substantially changed to components on the bike, partly to make it work as a gravel/cyclocross bike in southern Louisiana (that's the Mississippi river in the background), and partly to complement...

Beautiful. Curious about the stem on the Ephgrave--is it a lugged steel stem?

Paul Component brakes have worked well for me: https://www.paulcomp.com/shop/components/brakes/cantilever-brakes/neo-retro/ Or if you prefer to pay $100 less for slightly less prettiness: https://crustbikes.com/collections/brakes-levers/products/dia-compe-980-canti-brake?variant=39350363947098...

For us Americans, leboncoin is forbidden candy shop of French classic bikes. I've given up emailing sellers trying to get them to ship internationally--never works! I keep noticing how well finished Motobecane's were compared to other production French bikes of the era. The paint quality and...

I have been looking for a Vitus 787 cyclocross for ages! They keep coming up on leboncoin, but I have never succeeded in getting a seller to respond to my messages. Perhaps it's my bad French? Can't quite tell whether a 56 would be big enough--I usually ride a 58, but measured to the top of the...
