Looks totally worthless. I'll take it off your hands though.
My latest acquisition came from just down the road from you.
I do like the paint on it, oddly enough. How does the general workmanship appear?

Workmanship appears good. I'm going to take it for a test ride today. Its a cool bike but hard to find much info on.

Is it bonded steel? Equusbicycle has a couple of pics for Edmond Polchlopek (French builder):
Most famous for that oval chainring, Google tells me.

No. 1 on the bike being worthless due to the spumoni colors, 
. Some interesting info in FR wiki on the rider and his bikes and designs: Edmond Polchlopek ? Wikipédia
Seems like a cool bike.

The frame says macsteel... so based on the catolog pics... I'm guessing it columbus tubing. No oval chain ring... looks like the rings were replace with shimano rings. Any idea on value...
