Alex Singer
French constructeur, builder of complete bicycles, not just frames; famed for elegant lugs and hand-made fittings and components. A Singer complete with the original components (stem, paniers, etc.) is a rare treasure. The history of these marvellous bikes has been researched by Jan Heine and published by Vintage Bicycle Quarterly. Click here for VBQ. |
Typical of Singer: finely tapered lugs; completely hand-made fittments, including paniers, cable guides, and the cantilever-style brakes. |
The drive train. The crankset is by Stronglight. |
