Well, it took an old guy a while to get the job done, and done is not exactly correct. A fellow forum member gave me some tubular tires for the bike and as soon as they arrive, apart come the wheels for a clean and polish treatment, hope those Normandy Competition hubs polish up as nice as I think they will.

The bike as of today(sorry, I don't have a white garage door:-)...







Wraping cloth tape and Mafac half hoods - now there's a trick...



The hunt for the correct front derailleur continues, but this will do for now...



French threads means no SPD, but got the straps and traps for free...



The Stronglight bottom bracket is perfect...



Still to be completely disassembled, spokes and all, then polish and build again...
