Twenty-four builders from six countries lined up for two uncompromising stages: 230 km and more than 4,600 m of climbing on back roads and trails on the first day, four mountain passes on the second. The jury scored speed, reliability, weight and innovation. Eighteen bikes reached the finish; this one came fifth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bike matters in our history: it was Victoire, together with 200 magazine, that had revived the Concours de Machines the year before. It has since been rebuilt as a gravel bike and has done a lot of riding. The paint shows the marks of those years, but the bike still has tens of thousands of kilometres ahead of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Reynolds 853 frame separates for travel: an S\u0026amp;S coupling on the down tube and a Breakaway system at the seatpost. The crankset is a Spécialités T.A. prototype that foreshadowed the Horizon model. The rest of the build: SRAM Force 1 × 11 groupset, SRAM Force disc brakes, Tune wheels, 650B × 42 tyres (the maximum size), Chris King headset and Thomson seatpost. Travel case not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn request, we can adjust the build (groupset, wheels…) or repaint the frame: get in touch to discuss it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBikes are delivered within mainland France only, or can be collected at Cartel in Clermont-Ferrand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victoire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67645416112519,"sku":"VIC-CDM2017","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1102\/0543\/6295\/files\/VictoireCDM2017-3.jpg?v=1791363621","url":"https:\/\/cartelcycles.cafe\/en\/products\/victoire-concours-de-machines-2017-gravel-demontable","provider":"Cartel Cycles \u0026 Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
