I just looked at a Bertin which I know nothing about. One of the decals was "cyclo touriste" which I assume was the model. Where did this fall in the model range? It looks nice but unrefined. The fragment remaining of the tubing decal seems to say "Vitus" but I can't tell which variant. Rear dropouts are Milremo, the fronts could be different but I couldn't rear the markings. What was the original eqipment? It currently has non original bars, stem and saddle. Brakes are Mafac Racers, derailleurs are Simplex (I have no idea what model). Crankset is TA (pro 5 vis). Wheels are Maillard hubs laced to unidentified Super Champion 700c clinchers. Can anyone add any info about what I'm looking at?
All comments appreciated.
