What do the springs on the brakes doA nice original Tendil. Owners words below.
Hello,
I'm sharing this lovely Tendil randonneuse with you. I recovered it in Briançon, now I'm restoring it and I'm looking for some more information about the years of manufacture, the components and the value it could have now.
Thank you
