Group--- I am offering a 23" c/t Paris Galibier frameset to the list before going with the ebay routine. I bought it in England from the son of the original owner. He said it was a 24", but that dimension is to the top of the seat tube, which takes the circular type clamp. The dimension to the top of the little skinny double top tubes is 23" . I have a 24" and 25" that fit me, so here is your opportunity to own this delightfully weird and exceptionally beautiful machine.

I had it resprayed last year by Argos in Bristol--- Red, white (silver) and blue bleeds---and lug lining-- rather wild, but this bike could have been painted this way by Paris in 1948--- they were noted for their "wild" paint schemes, and this was one of them. Jpegs are available upon request, of course. I will include the original headset and sleeve-type bottom bracket--- both of which need to be replated.

I have $850 invested in the thing, but, unfortunately, it fell over in the driveway on a photo-op, and there are a few little nicks in the new paint job. I have the three bottles of touch up paint, and felt the new owner would prefer to do the job rather than have me do it--- I'm not really good at this. Thus, I will sell it for $750 plus shipping.

Please contact me off line if you are interested.... Cheers and Thanks---- Nelson Miller--- Seattle
