Re: Re:

Hi, the holes are probably for an oiler, or more likely a grease nipple, and just guessing with the cable guides, the front derailleur guide looks 60/70's, so there has been some mods, usually in the 50's there are two cable stops to hold/guide a stiff outer cable through the BB turn on the drive side, or sometimes a small bracket for a pulley. I would of expected something unless it was originally designed for a fixed wheel, and modified later to take a derailleur, no need for guides then, just some thoughts. Thanks Terry

Yes possible addition of brazed on cable guides - that would also perhaps be a reason that the one on the drive side came off as they are somewhat tough to brake (chain slap may be a culprit)

Hi!

Since I bought the Bertrand from @Foreigner a year ago, I wanted to ask if there are some new information on Bertrand (or Eddie Sage in this matter).

I've not yet decided how to build it though.

BTW, as for the lugs, Kobe from Pistamercato pointed out, that they might be Malaguti ones

However, more infos are quite welcome.

Cheers
