I would like to officially be added to the growing chorus of "Let's puh-leeze take this discussion off-list, folks!" (No offense intended to anyone; it's just time to talk about other stuff, like where 0.4mm of the 1.5mm increase in the RH Record crankarm spacing due to the CPSC-mandated Record front derailleur "lip" change went, since I can only verify 1.1mm of it - you know, mission-critical stuff like that...).
FWIW, I have the red LeJeune CdM that CyclArt restored that used to be Jamie Swan's; it's gorgeous, way prettier than it was when it was new.).
Apologies to all for taking up yet more bandwidth with this post, but can we just move on now?
Sincerely,

I have to agree, I had a 1973 LeJeune restored by CyclArt a few years ago. New paint, decals, pinstriping, rechroming. Everything was very well done. It was not cheap, almost $1,000, but that was in large part due to the high cost of chroming today. If you want cheap, go elsewhere, but CyclArt does deliver a quality job if you are willing to pay for it.
