I
found this bike in a thrift shop and couldn't resist taking it home.
It's paint was badly faded and some of the frame decals were cracked
and chipped. It appeared to be low mileage even down to the original
Michelin tires and white bar tape. I stripped it down, cleaned and
repacked the bearings, polished the paint and removed the chipped
decals. I also replaced a few age damaged parts. It rides very nicely
like a French bike should and gets a great deal of attention when
riding around town. The drive train is all original French, with
a Huret derallier, Helicomatic 6 speed hub and Nervar crank.
