Norris,

First, you added an extra "naught" to the item number. It's actually: 300191793877 Next... what am I to do? This bike is actually my frame size. I might _have_ to buy it, but where would I ride it?

Finally, I think this gives some insight into how LeJeune, and perhaps much of the French bespoke bike builders, actually worked. That is, if you had som sort of special need, you didn't necessarily approach a frame builder on your own. Rather, you went to a shop/vendor you trusted, and assumed they had contacts with various builders, and the right one would be chosen for your needs and resources.
      Best regards,
