> OK, the dropouts may not be branded Huret, but at least on the '70's vintage Gitane Interclub where I saw and handled the dropouts, the derailleur stop was positioned to take a Huret derailleur, rather than a Campagnolo or Japanese. I don't recall the spec of the bike, but am thinking it was the derailleur that was the shape of the Jubile, but steel with threaded parts and locknuts. Svelto?
