It's been like Christmas in July (but in June) around these parts. @hazetguy's Dura-Ace 7400 bits arrived via USPS a couple days ago.



Yesterday, I got a few screws and nuts from McMaster Carr.



Yesterday, I stopped to get milk on my way home from work. At the Play It Again Sports next door was a Motobecane Grand Jubilé. I didn't look too closely, but noticed Huret Jubilee rear derailleur, TA cranks and a Brooks Pro saddle. I called and had them hold it, then went back after work today to grab it. It turns out to also have a Jubilee front derailleur and shifters, and the rear is a long cage version. Oh, and it's my size.

Strangely though, it has half-step chainrings and a 13-17 freewheel. Not sure I've seen that combination before. Fortunately, I only had to ride a few very flat blocks home.



(Edit: Dunno if it's Firefox or BF, but I needed to horse around with the post after someone messed it up.)
