If 1970s I would have expected 120-22mm Suntour made ultra narrow chains and 6 speed blocks to go in the 5 speed spacing. The 80's saw 126mm as 6 and 7 speed became more common. French frames started to use "normal" standards in the 80's so no more French b/b thread, headset thread or 22mm steerer.
Loving the the brake levers!! Never seen that design before, who made them please?1970s LeJeune recommissioned and being usedView attachment 696034View attachment 696035View attachment 696036View attachment 696037View attachment 696038View attachment 696039
