Subject: [CR]Re: Grand Jubile or Grand Record??

Not that the future of the universe relies on any of this, but bear with me for one more moment: Didn't all Grand Jubilé frames have the phrase "Grand Jubilé" painted on the top tube? (As in he picture I posted this morning.) That should make things simple...
     Anyway, all the ones I've seen did. Then again I've only seen silver ones "in the flesh". As for parts, I no longer know what to believe. Because when I went to my box of "Grand Jubilé" parts, expecting to find only Huret and Stronglight drive train pieces, I also found an SR crank with Motobécane embossed on the arms and a set of Suntour VGT derailleurs. I don't really know howthey got there, but they must have come off of _some_ Grand Jubilé that was briefly in my posession.
