Asking for suggestions on period correct French seat pillar for use on an 1981 Eisentraut build?
And was there ever a braze-on Huret Jubilee front mech? I have a Challenger.
Black beauty filet brazed frameset, resprayed by Ed Litton. Decided to do a Franco-American build, with All French, but perhaps some American components - which are hard to come by. Also going for weight weenie components.
What I have So far - may have to substitute Specialized for some of these components:
Brakes: CLB Pro, or Mathauser Superbrake Derailleurs: Jubilee rear, Challenger braze-on front Shifters: Simplex retrofriction/Huret "power ratchet" Headset: Stronglight A9 Cranks: Stronglight 99 with drillium rings Pedals: Phil CHP/Lyotard Bottom Bracket: Stronglight Bar/Stem: Milremo French made/Mavic Wheels: Phil/Hi-E/Weyless/Malliard 700 to Mavic E2 rims Saddle: Ideale?? (may go for San Marco Rolls titanium for weight) Tyres: Michelin??
Pillar???
