Seriously Nice Gemini World Randonneur, Primed for a 650b conversion
Yes that is neat/pretty.
=>> My 63cm Gemini World Randonneur weighs in at 14.4kg, plain gauge 4130, touring tyres 700C UKAI's Mountain LX Biopace, 1090 wheelbase, 460ish chain stay good clearance for rear panniers, vertical rear drop outs, plenty of room for mud guards and fat tyres, noted deficiency is that they don't have mid fork mounts .....so you cannot fit these Mine is now used as a wet weather daily commuter, shopping bike or loaded tourer.

You'd pay a lot more than that for a Long Haul Trucker frame...

Although, he does have a "make an offer" button. I wonder if he'd entertain an offer with one less zero than his asking price?

The 'aero' forks are just embarrassing (but not heavy surprisingly), especially when as I am no speed merchant these days and tend to cruise around at 30kph on the flat.
Probably why it doesn't get ridden much.
