RBotM January 2019 - Open Month - Enter Now!! now...now...n.

I found them on offer for £100 at my LBS. scored a blue and a red one

£100 nice find.

There is a white version that’s been on e-bay from ages sat at about £500 I think.... got a feeling it might stay there a while longer...

Yeah the prices for the white ones are just made up... who would ever pay it

here comes another French lightweight of the end of 80s …built up this bike in the authentic TechSpec of BH Sports Team 1988/89, that means complete C-Record 7-speed with characteristic Delta Brakes. Cockpit has been a Cinelli R1 / CdM Combo and wheels are Campagnolo's best tubulars Sigma Hardox Strada … the seat post was a special part, it was a self-locking Stronglight …





no it's look like but it isn't a Vitus ...It's a French ALTEC carbone, which has been produced by a small workshop in Villeurbanne in the Rhone Valley in the area of Lyon - This wonderful beauty - see this beautifull Aluminium lugs especial the seat lug looks like made by Wohlhauser - comes here labeled as a basque BH frame set. BH haven't a lightweight frames set so the ALTEC carbone became end of 80s the choice of some of the riders of BH Sport Cycling Team like Federico Echave or Anselmo Fuente at uphill stages like the 17th stage of Vuelta 1989 e.g. Santona to Lagos de Cavadonga

The best part of this bike by far is the frame & that’s why it here

Garage find Ernie Clements Tourer. Decals are rumoured to be a prototype run. Drivetrain is a sneaky retro-mod mix.
