Glad to see this thread pop up again. I recently picked up a '91 Davidson Impulse on the 'bay.
Components are all Sachs Huret New Success, 8 speed. I was surprised to find the rear wheel had an 8 speed freewheel. Wheelset was a mess, so I ended up upgrading to a Shimano 105/H+Son TB14 wheelset from Velomine (not pictured). Riding on Continental GP 25mm tires. I've never ridden on such narrow tires, but it's all the frame will really allow, given the very narrow fork clearances.
Overall, really fun to ride. Feels fast as hell, and I can manage to keep up with the other roadies riding up Sheridan in Chicago.
