gvsnamib Posted June 5, 2016 Share If memory serves correct, Hennie Wentzel took over the Le Jeune brand with the factory situated on the Bottelary Road between Brackenfell and Kuilsrivier, Cape Town. Le Jeune was sold through Peter Allan cycles in Belville late 80's, early 90's. Bought my first brand new frame (Le Jeune - Reynolds 531c) from Peter Allan early 90's. Would give my left "toe" to have that frame back today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icycling Posted June 5, 2016 Share Avenue aluminium frames, built by Gary Koen in Cape Town, probably in the late 80's or early 90's. I think he only made a few prototypes before selling his frame-building equipment (to Peter Wheeler, I seem to remember).ZeroPlay2008-01-23 05:57:06Yes I still have Gary Koen's equipment.

Icycling Posted June 5, 2016 Share Peter Wheeler used to build Lotus and later on Victoria frames icycling could help us out with this one Lotus yes - and possible the relaunch is about to happen. Victoria was imported by myself. HeyYou and Matchstix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
