Classic French Randonneur 62cm MAP cycles - $4200 (Rock hill)
"
Heres a rare chance to own one of the finest bikes I've ever ridden. Built and owned by Mitch Pryor, constructeur of some of the most highly praised bikes ever featured in bicycles quarterly.
Modeled after Jan Heine's Alex Singer, this is the bike that helped Jan rediscover low trail geometry.
This MAP Randonneur is as beautiful to look at as it is to ride. Take a sec to soak in the bi laminate hand carved lugs, graceful bend of the front fork, hidden dynamo wiring, internal brake routing, and deep maroon paint with gold lug lining. Paint matched frame pump to complete the package.
I rode 2 brevets on this bike. The road rolls by quickly and comfortably as you glide across the world.
Knee injury forces sale. Mitch is no longer making frames as the paradise wildfires devastated his shop. His frames sold for 4500-5500 and took 8 months (when they were still available)
