Description
This
Messina road bike from Thionville, Northern France is one of the typical French 10-Speed bikes which became extremely popular all over the world during the 1970s.
The steel frame with lug-lining, semi-chromed fork and beautiful paintjob is as classic as the parts:
Mafac center-pull brakes, Normandy high flange hubs and a Huret shifting are just what it needs to complete a 'velo de course' of this time and provenience.
The Messina is not only good for vintage bicycle events like L'Eroica but can also be used for classic touring or as a really stylish bike to get around your city.
