Extraordinary bike from the master builder Paul CharrelCharrel built unique made to measure bicycles from a tiny shop/workshop in Lyon.He worked on his own, and spent countless hours on the exquisite refinements that characterize his randonneur bikes.His production in the 40s and 50s was tiny, and reserved to an elite of connoisseurs from the Lyon region.This particular bicycle is also unique by the frame size, I've never seen a Charrel this big before.Superb quality paintwork, original Charrel decals (rare).Wonderful parts, and unique frame details.The bicycle, as was often the case when thin tyres came into fashion, is equipped with Wolber super-randonneur tyres, but would look better with wider clinchers.
