Paris Galibier

Hi,

Check this out :

Notice the spelling - 'Gallibier' . . . . . . . Worth £390 ? :shock:

The seat tube looks much more swept back than the original & the forks look a lot newer than the frame.

well it does say it's a replica and the spelling is to avaoid confusion that it's a real one , I suspect. £390 is justifiable for a dave marsh built rep, where are you going to find another that is probably built far better than the originals imho.

IF it is a Dave Marsh built replica, I'd agree with you.

But having taken a look at the lugs* on the head tube, I think this frame pre-dates anything built by (or for) Dave Marsh.

* I might be wrong, but I think that the original Galibiers were actually 'bi-lams'.

Re:

ew.. :?
who ever built it, it's a crude replica of the original IMHO

Built as an insult to the Paris Galibier :facepalm: I don't think the forks look original so I'm guessing Dave Marsh never went anywhere near it.

Here's a proper one
