Hi Kurt. Thanks for the pics. Only the first picture of the second link is a Jubilee, and it looks like the inner cage plate has been buttressed w/ a longer thicker plate from a beefier model Huret f.d. Or am i looking at it funny? Do you happen to have a picture of the non drive side? I'd be interested in seeing what sort of braze-on would accomadate the vertical hinge on that side of the Jubilee. Thanks. Billy Ketchum; Chicago, IL; USA.

Here's some photos of constructeur modified Huret front derailleurs as described above. The first photo in the series is a Singer, the rest are by Herse.
