That is quite edifying Mr Sheldon Brown: I have a stock of NOS 1950's hose clips I'm willing to let go for a price to the buyer of any GR. In fact, once the buyer has removed the caminargent stem, the crankset and the uncracked rim (one of 'em is badly split I see on the pics) and maybe the rear derailleur, I am willing to purchase the frame for 20 euros. Better still, if anybody purchases that bike for parts and wants it stripped, much as I disprove with the act in theory , I might accept to have the bike shipped to me for dissasembly and reshipping the parts, my price being the frame and bars. I would like to try some fancy cutouts on the hoseclips and see what the result is. Probably better than a take-apart Herse.

ps: truly beautiful beautiful photo of the bike against that milestone your link leads to.

It was made with aluminum tubes in the main triangle, held into steel lugs by rivets. Not a great design. On mine the joints at the head tube were scary loose, and I bodged together a setup using hose clamps to help hold it together.
