This is it: http://ebay.com/<blah>

A very kind CR list member, knowing my interest in these bikes, brought it to my attention. Unfortunately, I have some personal "issues" taht prevent me from bidding on this bike. Believe me, it hurts not to. It's typical of the era - all Campagnolo except for the MAFAC brakes.

By the way, the frame on this bike appears to be one of the nicest LeJeunes I've seen. It looks as clean as the Bernard Carré built bikes, albeit without some of his fancier touches.

The seller's comments are fun, too, with something about the bike costing a week and a half's salary when it was new. Then he says something about it being top-of-the-line, except for the all Reynolds, all Campagnolo, half-chrome bikes. (Well, it struck me as amusing in the original French.)

Also, the seller seems to speak English - at least as well as I speak French... Amitiés, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
