Theron, early 60's
No fancy lugwork but a lightish bike in spite of the steel rims and bars. Rosa double chainring and Simplex "Suicide Shifter", Mafacs. Rubber street pedals. Mavic Inal guards. Jos front light. And no particular reason to stick racing or randonneur bars on it with fancy pedals and try and flog it as a randonneur, which is the usual trick. Needs some cleaning and touching in, a chain, a thorough lube and it'll be perfect. Say 1950's ? Might just paint "Rene Who" on the DT.
