1970-ish Bertin C37 Mixte Build List - Full Refresh with Rebuilt Wheels and Campy Nuovo Record
Back in the day there were a few companies that produced Mixte style frames that used the same frame materials and components as high end racing bikes. On those select bikes, it wasn't uncommon to see Reynolds 531 or Columbus SL tubing with Nuovo Record Components on a get-around-town bike. This is what makes this bike I picked up for Adrian as a winter project that much cooler.
