I was urged by fellow list member Mark Agree to get this bike. :) I saw the blurb on the Classic Rendezvous site, but not much else about this.

I know it's at least older than September 30, 1975, because of the license sticker on it.
Solida steel cottered cranks, Huret derailler, Valstar Premier Choix tubes, 27" chrome steel rims (with some sort of etched braking surface), Normandy alloy hubs (high flange?), Atom (or Matom?) quick release skewers, Weinmann centerpull brakes with non-aero levers, stamped dropouts, Lyotard pedals. It was pretty light even with the steel rims attached.
Is that black paint on the lugs original, or did somebody take a rattle can to add accent marks?
