That was going to be my question.

I think he means the Ivorian-French war of 2004.

o.t.t.

good luck with that, I doubt you would get any reynolds frames pre-war, more 1950's-60's
this is where you need to be looking: http://www.bikerecycling.net/ they usually have plenty old bikes hiding in the back.

universalcyclecentre.co.uk have a couple wheelsets with cane rims, Airlites etc. etc. Get your wallet out. We're talking £600 I think. Also attend the Ripley jumbles. There are a few people around who build and ride this sort of bike.

Why not build a nice 90s bike? That's where the bargains are.

Good luck.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
