Don't let the dropouts throw you. My TdF came from the factory with Simplex rear and Campy front. They made lots of sustitutions.
Have you tried Gitane USA? You may get help from a real expert. You may also get lots of advice from someone with no clue. It's just like here.
Hmm I forgot that the french buildt their bikes with whatever was present at the time and not like the catalogues. I'll ask at gitane USA as well.
