I rode mine just last week. Despite being rigged out in full randonneur mode, it feels incredibly light and nimble. It's one of those I was thinking of selling this spring but riding it has convinced me otherwise. Again. Mine is fully decked out with Huret Jubilee as is a 1970 Raleigh Competition I have that I also went full rando on. Both are long cage RD. Opinions vary of course but in my experience the Jubilee shifts just fine and is not particularly fragile if treated well. The rear shifter, however, does require quite a bit of travel to go to the largest cog.
