PHILIPPE

“Philippe is a brand of frames well-known in many parts of France, the company still operating (Ed. web site HERE), as they have done for more than 25 years, at Boulevard de l’Industrie in the beautiful city of Blois, on the river Loire, about one hour SW of Paris.”

“They produced a range of steel frames from amateur road type up to top of the range racing and touring models. The firm was one of the first to build high quality welded aluminum frames in the 1990s and became better known for building the frames used by the Castorama team of Cyrille Guimard in 92/93, under Guimard’s own Maxi-Sports brand.”
