I'm unaware of Huret sponsering any major teams but as I recently posted, the Jubilee's were if fact used by the Raleigh Team on their Team bikes back in at least 1973. Of the Team bikes about 1/2 seem to have been equipped with the Huret Jubilee's (along with Nervar Star cranksets and Weinmann brakes) while the other 1/2 were Campagnolo NR as I had always assumed.

Eric Elman got my 7th ride in a row in today :-) and got my freshly restored 1974 Raleigh International which was pristine, absolutely filthy :-( ,when I got caught in a downpour about 10 miles from home. Somers, CT
