Offering 1960s Jan de Reus frameset with bits

Jan de Reus was a builder with a great reputation. Many talented riders came to Jan in Halfweg (near A'dam) for having a frame tailor made. Jan de Reus frames in disguise were raced to multiple TdF stage wins.

The Reus I am offering is a 60s example. It is built using Reynolds 531 tubing, Prugnat lugs and Campagnolo ends.

Rare. You can be sure your neighbour hasn't another.

Features:
- Reynolds 531 tubing
- Campagnolo ends and drop outs
- Prugnat lugs
- metal Jan de Reus badge
- 'R' engraving in stay tops
- Seattube 58cm c-t
- Toptube 570mm

Condition:
It is a patina frame, but it is good. On cosmetic condition I can say you can expect chips, rust and dry paint. Structurally the frame is 100% sound. Give the Reus a wax treatment and it is ready for many enjoyable miles to come. View the many pics.

Comes with:
- headset (unidentified by me)
- Stronglight bottom bracket for cottered cranks
- pump fittings
- Silca Impero pump
- cable guide near bottom bracket

Optional:
- a pair Stronglight chromed steel cottored cranks

Looking for 160 gbp shipped

Oozes a real sense of character that Mel....
I love it and could just picture that riding through the lanes on a sunny Sunday morning. Old school beauty.. :D
 
Without the Stronglight bottom bracket the frame can leave for 145 gbp including shipping. Threading is English.

I hope someone will. I am quite serious on my cleaning goals, so can't have it wait too long, so eventually I will have to send it to eBay. Please no eBay :x

I think the Reus is a gem that represents an interesting bit of Dutch racing history. The Reus can for example act as excellent starting point for a very fast and distinctive commuter bicycle. I think it offers lot of oppertunities and that for only 145 gbp to your door. Do I sound like a salesman now??? :oops: No, it is for the Reus. Please let me keep it away from eBay.
 
Due to labour day you can get it for 130 gbp today if you can proove you're a labourer.
 
as I am celebrating my birthday today, the offer will be extented for another day
