Durand 50s?

[restlessnative]

I was actually just looking for a frame but I sort of accidentely bought a whole bike :roll:

It will be getting stripped and rebuilt slightly differently when I get it but does anyone have any history on Durand?

Why rebuild it? Looks to be very interesting.

It needs some gear adjustments and it's good as it is, according to me.
Did you find it in Marketplace Watch, or by yourself?

yeah I'm just talking tweaks not fixie neon wheels or anything

clearly has no idea how a rear mech works!

I am a little worried on the sizing though, it was listed as 55-55 centre to centre, which would be ok for me so I bid and paid but looking at it on the screen afterwards the top tube looks longer than the seat tube so I wonder if he has messed the measurements up :?

I emailed him several times but he is ignoring me so far

He's got back to me to say he measured it wrong and it's 55-57.5 so too big for me and he's going to refund.

Love to see some better close up images.

Shame! So much for me measuring the screen with a Vernier!
