Here we have a lovely Jaunatre road bike from the 1960s. This French bike company was based in Nantes and produced lovely bikes, this being no exception with the frame built up to a very good standard. The chrome wheels are in excellent condition and the Normandy hubs are spinning freely. It has a nice set of Mafac brakes with nice Mafac levers and the Simplex rear mech is shifting very well. It a really effortlessly ride with the CST tyres rolling along the tarmac and the contact points are well finished with the classic Rolls saddle and nice green cotton tape. If you want a classic steel road bike with a little patina, then look no further as this machine will turn heads!

All parts are cleaned, inspected and fully described in the listings. Sometimes items with internal bearings such as pedals or hubs may need a service if we haven?t got around to doing this before listing, but we will always reflect this information, and make it clear in the listing. 

We aim to offer a bicycle part that is ready to fit and enjoy, so frequently, disassemble, clean, re-grease and reassemble, to make sure everything is in full working order.

 

Complete bikes are checked over, and given a service if required, so they are working as they should and any issues will be listed so you the buyer can assess your purchase.

 

Please be aware that complete bikes will need some assembly once you receive them. The pedals, stem and handlebars will need refitting, along with the seat post, saddle and both wheels. If there are mudguards or racks included these will also need to be put back, but there will be nothing that requires any specialist tools and if you are in doubt, we are happy to advise, help or point in the direction of a local shop.
