ROUTENS touring frame 57x56.5cm 3600g 115mm vintage l'eroica

A high-quality steel frame from legendary French builder Jo Routens, optimized for traditional 650B wheels (584mm) and classic long-distance randonneur builds. This vintage frame offers an excellent foundation for specialists seeking to reconstruct an authentic touring bike with period-correct components. Note that the original cantilever brake bosses have been removed and will need to be welded back on to restore its full functional profile. Over decades of storage, the steel may present minor cosmetic marks or micro-scratches typical of vintage stock.

Restoration Potential and Vintage Alignment

For collectors aiming to complete a highly precise classic assembly, pairing this chassis with complementary elements is key. For front-end setup, you can pair it with a dedicated 163mm Steel Fork for Bicycle Frame, or explore similar options like this Liberia Steel Fork for Bicycle Frame to match the original geometry.
