Beautiful velo! Like certain others noted recently, this S/C could well reside in a museum, in my opinion.

Hi,

It has taken a few weeks, but here is the bike I shared with you a while back. It has been waxed, lubed, etc and is ready to ride and show.

Thank you,

Stevie,
As Chas. stated, the 3ttt Gran Prix stem on your bike is period correct. I actually replaced the Pivo on my TdF with a Gran Prix shortly after buying it in 1972.

Fantastic! It really does look very lightly used. Not many of them have all the stickers and paint in such good shape. I love the shifter combined with the pump clamp.

I got the one that was & ...
