You can't help but be seriously tempted

With the forks and parts, that's a good deal! I saw a Dural Magne online with a cracked chainstay, bare frame with nowt on it and they were looking 500 euro for it...

Can't buy anymore bikes!

Will include this fine set of Pivo handlebar moustache and stem (correct 22mm French fitting) and CLB dural forge retro pull brake lever to the buyer. This, along with the French forks and headset will remove any French sizing/threading headaches.

Ideal set up for a single speed/fixed or retropedallage solution (this would make a stunning era correct 'porteur' bike). Just add wheels, chainset and saddle and you're away!

Can't say fairer.

Can't believe this ain't been snapped up! There's a broken to sh#t and cracked one here for 500 with not even the bolts to hold it together Times must be hard!

That's a lot of 1950's rare French vintage for not a lot of money...

Thanks. It deserves a good home, I reckon if you rocked up to any British bike show with a period restoration of this you'd win it. Give it another few days then off to the auction land, and from there probably a Japanese buyer. Here's a restoration by a well known German collector. Bebolux semi hydraulic brakes and a Tremolo wheel powered (metal band connected to rotator) compressed air bell! Another period favourite is the French ED speedometer, runs off a similar metal band connected to a rotating disc. The mudguards are the famously hard to find 'Alligator' pattern.
