Jean Paul Routens camping/randonneur bike
Hi all- I bought this frameset recently hoping it would fit me but it's just too small. Since receiving it I've cleaned and waxed the frame and cleaned and repacked the headset and bottom bracket. There are a few paint chips, but the paint and chrome are in beautiful shape. I'm going to ask $750, which I feel is reasonable given the condition and the parts included (see below). Willing to ship via Bikeflights for whatever that costs
It's an early 80s Jean Paul Routens camping bike, Reynolds 531ST throughout. 49.5cm CTC seat tube, 52cm CTC top tube.
-Brazed-on mounts for direct mount centerpulls brakes
-Front and rear fender eyelets
-3 sets of rear rack mounts
-Low rider mounts on the fork
-Brazed-on fender mount under the fork crown
-BB dynamo mount on chainstay bridge and shift lever mount behind seat tube for dynamo actuation
-Internal downtube routing for dynamo wire
-Internal top tube routing for rear brake
Comes with French-thread Campag headset in perfect shape and TA loose ball bottom bracket (also French thread), both repacked today. Also comes with TA seat bolt with integrated cable hanger and front MAFAC cable hanger. Also comes with braze-on MAFAC GT brakes in great condition (front and rear, both cleaned and lubricates). Also comes with a 26.6 JPR seatpost, that has been polished but has twist marks on the side and rear.
