Bertin Updates
Lately, posts have been infrequent on Bertin Classic Cycles due to work responsibilities – I am looking forward to retiring again in the Fall! Nonetheless, I have been doing a few things. There is a new, colour photo of a Bertin T 2 tandem on the Models page. I have added a photo of an 80s period Bertin C 38 on the Track Bikes Gallery page and I would also like to share a series of photos of a pro team frameset originally offered for sale through Hilary Stone’s site. It is excellent and I would recommend you take a look.
The frameset is quite lovely and I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
Please note the Bernard Hinault plastic/alloy Stronglight A9 headset.
