ROUTENS touring frame 53x55.5cm 2790g 123mm vintage bicycle l'Eroica

A high-character French chassis designed for classical randonneur assemblies, this steel touring bike frame comes from the legendary workshops of Routens. Built to accommodate 650B - 584mm wheels, it features traditional rear spacing of 115mm and represents a highly collectible basis for retro-cycling builders. Note that this is a workshop-ready project: the original cantilever brake mounts have been cut off and must be welded back on to restore its stopping configuration. The photos are part of the description and document its physical condition and structural attributes in detail.

Restoration Value & Craftsmanship

For collectors seeking authentic French cycle-touring geometry, this Routens steel frame offers exceptional tubing construction and classic lug work. The 57 cm by 56.5 cm sizing provides a balanced position for long-distance riding. To complement this rebuild, you can source matching components such as a Front Headlight Bracket or complete your rolling chassis with high-end period-correct wheels built around a vintage Mavic 500 RD Rear Hub.
