Lovely! Described as "circa 1960s" - I would have guessed earlier than that?

 

[scarygerbil]

its pre 1961 as that's when the factory shut down.
the gear set is worth over £100 on their own

i think they must be including the manual push it along the road one ????

Currently my Secteur has 19 gears - 1-10 then 12-20. Someone ( ) has left the chain too short to get all 20 working on a 28 cassette *


* I didn't need an 11th gear anyway

It's certainly a bit of a beast. I think the professional quality photos really show it off
