Any interest in this CB Brevet?
1984
531c - F&F weigh 2.6kg
22.5" seat tube c-t
22" top tube c-c
mid fork mounts for panniers
4 point mount for pannier at rear
I dimpled the chain stays to increase tyre clearance prior to painting and no damage was found.
painted in 2-pack polyurethane, I'm told it is the exact same paint (and colour) as post boxes
looks a bit pink in the photos but that's just the camera. its BS538 -cherry red- and very nicely done
please note, the original cable guides were brazed structures that run over the bottom bracket. The one for the front derailleur has broken so I drilled and tapped a hole in the bb to mount a plastic guide underneath. I run the rear shifter cable over the BB and the front shifter under. I find this works very well. The original front guide was never very good because the cable kept falling out.
clearance for 650 x 42 tyres and mudguards or 700 x 30 (tight)
I have the following to go along with it, if interested
original headset and bb if interested
pair of tektro r559s (both fronts, nutted at rear)
pair of old french mudguards I cut to fit over 650 x 42 tyres (tight!)
