Subject: [CR]French Tandem on eBay
Classicists,
Have any of you spied this "Frenchman" tandem on eBay?
Look here:
http://ebay.com/<blah
Mudguards, racks, and what look to be from afar to be
the much sought after (by me) Mafac Raid centerpulls.
I had a Gitane Tandem all those many years ago (actually
won a race on it in 1972 or 73 in south Jersey, stoking
for my captain elder brother). Talk about seller's remorse...
This bike has no decals but has to be French for its
style and parts (at least on the assumption that others/sane others
don't use these parts, :-)
Comments on this rig?
Anyone know what sort of rear drum brake this might have?
I'm no expert on (anything) tandem...or anything in east of
Afghanisthan.
lust in my heart for all bicycles French and this interesting,
