Here's a late bike boom era French bike, a classic from one of the St Etienne factories that cranked out so many 1970's bikes, this is a La France "Type Tour de France."
This is taking space in the garage and needs to move on to a caring new owner. If it stays here it'll get Craigslisted to some fixie butcher.
Pardon me for not cleaning it before taking pics.

Beautiful Belleri bars with Pivo stem. Stronglight crank. Pristine Lyotard alloy racing pedals with matched A LeDucq clips and straps (sadly the straps are about to separate but might be rehabilitated for display use). Mavic 27-1/4 rims, Normandy hubs. Ideale in junk/ poor state but beautiful clamp survives. Mafac Racer calipers and levers. Simplex changers have been replaced with Suntour.
Purported to be 531 but I have doubts. Rear Simplex dropouts (with hard to find spacers). Front dropouts are stamped steel.
I'll ship it via FedEx Ground for $380 or will discount the price for local pickup in the Denver metro area (Longmont).
Contact me for any specific questions.
