When I bought my Grand Jubilé it was far and away the best value I could find at the time in that spec range. That was 1978 in Winnipeg, and I did a lot of looking around.

Incorrect, by 1978 the Grand Jublilé had Suntour Cyclone derailleurs. And what specifically is wrong with the Huret Jubilé compared to its competition at the time?

At the time, what made these designs inferior to the Japanese? (BTW, my 78 has an SR crankset and Swiss BB threads).
