This looks more like a Grand Jubilee to me, but I'm not sure the description as being 531 is correct. Grand Record was 531 DB maintubes and forks, at least in the 70's. I have only breifly owned one Grand Jubilee, but I thought they were typically Vitus in the 70's. I don't see any tubing decals in the photos, so I don't know how the seller established that it was 531 rather than Vitus.

The TT decals were missing or rubbed off and the the tubing and lugs had changed over the years to have changed from Vitus to 531 tubing. This one is obviously 531 and Nervex lugged as seen in the photos. Go to the completed auction before the photos disappear. What is the educated opinion of the Francophiles? Approximate year?
Follow the link or go to 'completed listings' and type in Grand Jubilee
