To my knowledge Grand Jubile's never came with triples. I've got a 1976 GJ and it has a Stronglight double. Still a great bike, but I don't think a triple was ever an option on them.

EDIT: Your Moto is most likely an early 80's. - Catalogue image exists for '79 and it looks very similar to yours, but colors were only black or gold in '79.
