I have found a pretty rare french frame from the 70's which I find lovely
It is from a small framemaker - Roger Roche - not very well known but who has manufactured top quality stuff
Apparently, he worked for the Automoto brand for quite a a while before establishing his own shop near Saint Etienne I believe
The work on the lugs is awsome - they are so much filed that their thickness is minimal at the end of them :shock:
It is in Super Vitus 971 , the best french tube at the time ( lighter than Columbus SL :idea:
) and bocama competition lugs
And to add the icing on the cake, it is a full chromed frame with a pretty and rare multicolour cromovelato - not mint but decent
Dunno what to put on it yet ( possibly campa nuovo record as I have got a full french machine of the 70's and i don't see Dura Ace on this one) but it goes at the end of the queue as other works are in progress :facepalm: !
Unfortunately, the rear right end had a small split but it has now been repaired
