This bespoke road chassis represents the height of French artisanal constructeurs. Built in the workshops of Jacques Busset, this specimen uses the legendary Vitus 980 double-butted steel tube set, yielding a performance-focused stiffness-to-weight ratio designed to rival premium racing alloys of its era. The frame features exceptionally clean, lugless fillet-brazed joints (soudo-brasé) which minimize excess material, giving the joints a sleek aesthetic profile while maintaining maximum structural efficiency.
Engineered for high-performance setups, this competition-derived chassis features a 126 mm rear dropout spacing, making it the perfect platform for 6-speed and 7-speed period-correct vintage drivetrains from brands like Spidel, Mavic, or Stronglight. The photographs are an integral part of this description, illustrating the overall preservation, paintwork, and specific brazing details. If you are planning a matching custom build or dual restoration project, you may also want to explore the Jacques Busset Lady Frame as a complementary counterpart.
This frame is exceptionally light for vintage steel, weighing only 2230 grams including the fork, thanks to the thin-walled Vitus 980 double-butted tubing.
The seat tube measures 52 cm from the bottom bracket center to the top of the tube, and the top tube is 53 cm center-to-center.
The rear dropout spacing is 126 mm, which is the standard size for vintage 6-speed and 7-speed rear road hubs.
