For sale is a 54cm CTC (56cm CTT) Faggin steel road bike in fluro yellow, it is branded up with Promonet which is a French bike shop in Macon, it also has decals on saying 'Champions de France sur Piste 1986' which I can only imagine may have been a promotional bike for the season or potentially even for Yvon Madiot who won the championship that year! who knows?!
There are a few chips on the frame from it being locked up, before I got it :( and also on the rear right seatstay but the chrome is in all round good condition and there is no rust or dents in the frame.
Size wise im 5'10.5" and with the saddle in its current position its a comfortable riding position, I thought it'd be too small as I usually ride a 56cm CTC but its not a bad fit with the current stem.

All round a really nice piece of Italian 80's steel with a mix match of components but all good quality. Ive had it out for long rides and its a pleasure and gets a lot of attention.
Im looking for £350 cash is a great price, the frame on its own would go for £250+ and the chainrings along would fetch 40 quid on the bay! I'm in Hoxton for a viewing if needed. Cheers.
