French Racing Bicycles

[ChromeChainstay]

My french pal picked this up from a boot sale for 100 euro smackers. It's a cycles AJP sort of low profile with a curved seat tube. There pretty rare, with the ever awesome paint finish by Cavallo.

very nice, nice find

A lot of cracking machines on this thread ,I have really enjoyed the pictures.

Some years ago whilst on holiday in France l found a long established bike shop .
Purchased a nos Ideale record 80 touring saddle complete with an adjustable cradle. This is far better than anything I had seen in the UK .
