Description:
- New Allrounder model uses the same lugs as the early version of the Avant Coureur. And is beautifully built using Bilaminate / Fillet brazed construction.
- The frame is in excellent condition. No dents or dings.
- I think it has been refinished at some point prior to my ownership.
- The black enamel paint is excellent, but there are a few small chips. Main ones are on inside of rear chainstays. Nothing overly detracting. And easily touched up being black!
- Main thing frame would benefit from is having its lugs re-lined in gold as the lovely bilaminate work is not really shown off at the moment. If you have a steady hand, pretty easy to do yourself. I’d recommend Sign-writers paint such as 1Shot. Its consistency, coupled with a drying time longer than your typical model enamel helps vastly.
- Braze-ons for D/T shifters, pump, rear brake cable. Some people have said gear and brake braze-ons may be a later additions, but I've seen others for sale with similar, so can not be sure.
- Comes complete with headbadge and also the all-important, original and correct seatclamp. These are particularly hard to find, and can be expensive if you do! I had to find one for another CB frame and it took an age.
