Watch those threadings and sizes. Anyone's miscalculation in the past can REALLY cause you headaches, if not experienced and/or careful. Yes, even you engineer types.
Hang around - especially beneficial for vintage bike riders & collecters.
I’m in the Lexington area but grew up not to far from the bowling green area.
Oh trust me the engineer in me throughly researched these bikes before purchasing so I know all about those wacky French specs haha! Luckily the bike is pretty much stock sans a new back wheel. And my only upgrades planed are barend shifters, new tape, new saddle, and maybe a rack or two for some overnight touring.
