Gitane forks are frustrating that way, but a silver lining is that I can do a 650b swap without even having to change the calipers out to RAIDs up front!
Still, you should be able to get true 32’s up front. Unless
Jean had a bit too much wine over the lunch break and cut the blades even shorter that day…
