FOR SALE HERE IS VERY LIGHT AND HANDMADE JOHN FERN OF COALVILLE
VELOS FOUGERE MANS RACING CYCLE.
this is a very light 8.5 kg steel tubed frame unable to confirm what type of tubing
i was told by previous owner that it was Reynolds but no frame sticker to prove , my local bike shops best guess is that its either 531c or 753 due to the size and type of luwork.
23 1/2 " or 60 cm frame finished in a nice Burgundy colour , some knocks and bruises but no nasty touch ups hiding them so all visable , but would touch up easy .
fitted with the following bits and pieces to make a realy responsive and a joy to ride bike
chromed fr reynolds believed 531 forks with some pitting but sticker not readable
rear right hand lower chainstay chromed
