And, right or wrong, (and you know better than I do ) you have a beautiful bike that has history and is being restored sympathetically. Can't wait to see the finished example.

So a few years have passed and it's finished! After 2 lots of decals and a lot of hunting for bits I'm happy with how it looks. It should have Huret gears but these were on the 1980 spec bikes.
I decided to finish my Gitane too..

That looks fast just sitting there.
Lovely colour too.

Re:

Yes it feels sharp too. I'm waiting for some better tubs, the wheels are 26 spoke tied and soldered. I'm going to go carefully as I'm 100 kg! 175mm cranks. I had a quick ride up and down the road this eve, back tub not glued down so no sudden u turns!
