Thanks Lynn, I do not have a long history with the bike. I got the bike as a fun project, but a size or so small for me. The wheels were on it and matched the condition overall, so seemed to be original to this bike. I could add more photos to present the touchups, and "patina" of the frame. It is a very cool ride, just too small for me. Jerry Tenenberg Encinitas, Cal

Wow. Very nice. I would lean towards 73 Champ du Monde or a little later based mostly on the Mavic rims. The 72 catalog specs Super Champion and my 72 does have the SC rims. But who is to say the catalog specs were always followed to the letter. The 72 catalog also shows plain block letter and my 72 has the markings on white panels. Would you share your history with the bike? Looks near NOS.
