M Bachet 1950s french road racing frame 58cm (22 3/4in) centre to top, 56cm (22in~) top tube. This looks a nicely built frame by French standards with one of the simpler Nervex lug designs. Complete with headset, cotterless bottom bracket and Simplex JUY 4-speed Tour de France gear on Simplex fork ends. Remnants of original transfers and blue box lining. Nice details include the lower pump peg being cup shaped for pump with integral head. Only problem with it is the front fork blsades are pushed back a little. There is no damage to the frame¹s top or down tube; they are perfectly straight with no rippling. Therefore only $95
