I've got a set of Huret Jubile derailleurs and shift levers, but didn't happen to have a freewheel that the RD could handle, so I decided to make it a fixed gear.

It will likely be getting a set of porteur bars and flat pedals soon for some bike pathing expeditions now that the trail is clear of snow.

Lovely riding bike.

That's a beautiful GJ. I'm working on a similar one (I think a bit older) right now. May I ask what clues point to yours being a 76 model year?
