First Wash for 25 years - Vintage French Bike Frame

My 1976 vintage Bertin bike hadn’t been washed since the 1990’s, so when I bought it the frame was covered in decades of dust. What colour lay beneath the dirt?

What a beautiful color. As a bike love I really appreciate these old bike restorations. Cheers from Brazil.

I wonder if the frame is named for ladies British TT champ Beryl Bertin?😮

She was a great rider!
