"Also, I do not understand your comments about the seat post and stem?
Is this some sort of Raleigh Competition with which I am unfamiliar?"
This project is part aesthetics and part learning exercise...but mostly fun. The Frame takes a 22.2 stem and a 27.0 seatpost. Most French components of these varieties are of different dimensions.
Not finding weird parts is not going to hold up the build- I'm just having fun looking around. I started with a good looking frame. Someone gave me a great deal on Huret Jubilees, local craig's list had some Mallard 700's ...the rest we will see. The pedals are readily available.
I love the Sac Bike Kitchen. Righteous work being done out there. Great vibe every time I have stopped by. Thanks for your work!
