This classic French racing chassis represents an exceptional find for vintage bicycle restorers looking to build or complete a period-correct, high-end road machine. Constructed from renowned Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing (both main tubes and stays), this frame delivers the legendary dampening qualities and springy responsiveness coveted by collectors and retro-cycling enthusiasts. The 64cm frame size is highly sought-after, providing the perfect foundation for taller riders wanting to participate in historic events like l'Eroica.
