A gorgeous and idiosyncratic French road bike with resplendent purple respray by the inimitable Joe Bell, this rare beauty features hellenic stays, front and rear custom racks painted to match the frame, full lightweight aluminum fenders, a triple front crank.
Note the unusual brake cable routing through the seat tube! Philippe fork with chrome crown, chrome seat- and chainstay ends.
Mostly French with Huret Success derailleurs, Mafac Racer cantilever brakes, TA triple crank, Stronglight headset, Atax Philippe stem, Leotard pedals, and a beautifully broken in Brooks saddle and bar tape. Some surface rust on the chrome.
Campagnolo high flange hubs and cutout shifters.
Headlight is non functional.
57.5 cm seat tube c-c
56 cm top tube
