Details

You could be the proud owner of this vintage CNC Special bicycle. Built in France in the 40's (though we are unsure of it's exact age) this bike features an early Le Simplex 8 speed drivetrain and beautiful full metal fenders. Perfect for the French bicycle collector, this bicycle is looking for a new home and it could be yours.

BIKE CONDITION

The bike is in decent overall condition and free of bends and cracks. The green paint is quite faded with many marks and scratches to be found throughout the bike (the top tube in particular has a lot of wear and some surface corrosion). The bike appears to be original with the exceptions of the grips, saddle, the non drive side pedal and one or both of the tires.

Nothing has been done to this bicycle and we would recommend a full tune up before riding.

This bicycle is being sold as is, please see photographs for details.

As this bicycle is currently in one of our storage warehouses we can do a bicycle showing by appointment at our 1201 Regent St Location. All in state sales are subject to local sales tax (WI 5.5%). All bicycle showings are subject to a 25% down payment. This is fully refundable after the showing is completed if you purchase the bike or decline the purchase.
