This AM my brother and I pulled a Grand Sport from the scrap pile.Still had the Stronglight crank and the Weinmann brakes-no Carlton hoods though.The plastic Simplex gear changers were also gone-sun tour now,no rear,but bar ends and GB bar and stem.Brooks B 15 with holes in the sides.No wheels either.And the saddest part,the rear stays are a mess but probably fixable(not worth the expense).It has zeus competition drop outs f&r,with a derailleur hanger! So the next time you take out the trash,look in the scrap or bicycle pile.To date I have landfill treasures like these;1972 Peugeot PX 10;Motobecane Grand Touring from about 1979;numerous parts to include an early set of DuraAce hf hubs.And a 49 crankset.
