My Jeunet is oh so wrong but gets 'er done with style. Jeunet frame, Suntour GPX wheels, shifter, and rear derailleur, 70's Huret shifter mount, 80's 600 brake levers, unknown leather saddle, cottered steel cranks, and, now that the original stem broke, an 80's Japanese stem from the Centurian that donated all the 80's Suntour stuff.

I worry about function first, then if a build is "correct" later. Sometimes never.

She's in for a bit of a rehab right now, cottered cranks will be gone, most components will be 80's 600 and the wheels will be all silver and I'll add a front rack. Still won't be "right" (french) but it'll look sharp, work quite well and cost very few dollars.
