I know mate. I should have put a smiley face as I did take it that way, not as a criticism.
While in my position I stay neutral, I fully understand about the Denton ;)

All in good fun

My retro inspired build didn't go down well last month so this time I present my totally original Raleigh Theseus from the SBDU at Ilkeston.
I just have to look at it and I'm instantly transported back to 1987.
T'Pau, Rick Astley, Whitesnake, those were the days. :LOL:

I'll put my Bob Jackson in then. Bought as a bare frame a couple of years ago, and decided to build up with Shimano components, cinelli bars and stem and stitched on some leather wrap.

Re:

A lot of cracking bikes .
The French Randonneuse is stunning .
The frame design looks similar to a Charrel . I cannot tell tell from the pictures if the frame is all fillet brazed + the external cable runs could rule it out been one?

I wish it were a Charrel :LOL:
But the finish even if good is not of Charrel quality I believe, and Charrel like details are clearly not there :cry:
the frame is actually lugged and not fillet brazed
a few more pics there

truly these hellenic seatstays have been fancied by quite a few high end french framemakers
Dujardin, Singer, Reyhand, Villemus, Cycle de France to name a few.
True quill seatposts have not been very common and more a feature of Singer. But even with Singer parts, the lack of a number stamped and cable stops unlike Singer ones makes it rather improbable it is one.

About internal cabling, it is true its a rather common feature of Charrel , but has also been seen quite often on some Follis ( see one in my flickr gallery :idea: ).
