John,
I will not tell you what it "should" have , because that
seems to have varied. I can tell you what's in my box of Grand
Jubilé parts, though.
>From an early to mid-70s version: Pivo stem and bars. This is
a Pivo stem that resembles a late Cinelli stem, with 7mm allen
head bolts for both binders. The bars are narrow - i.e. 38cm,
even though this stuff came off of a large frame. Note that
the brake levers did not have those "safety extensions". I am
dead certain this is original equipment.
>From a late-70s version (or perhaps early '80s?): SR stem and
bars. Also 38cm bars, although this was from a smaller bike
for which that might almost have been appropriate. Also has
the "safety extensions". In this case, I'm not so certain as
to whether this was original equipment for the Grand Jubilé
frame from which I removed them. But the crankset was indeed
Japanese (even though it has Motobécane markings) if that's
evidence of anything.
Good luck,
Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
