Well, if you look just above the track bike on the CR site, you'll see my 1973 LeJeune road bike, very similar to the track frame except for slightly simpler decals. The original equipment is pretty much what you describe. Mine is a model F-70. Yours probably is also.

It was supposedly a year old. Can someone date the bike and provide its model name based on the decals? The decals and paint are just like the track bike on the Lejeune CR section, but it has chrome stay ends and fork ends. Originally Stronglight 93,, Mafac brakes, Simplex Criterium. Simplex ends. Do not recall the stem and bar. Super Champion Competition rims and Normandy Competition HF hubs. I still have the rear wheel and cluster.

I bet Jerry knows the answer.

Thanks
