This is my third GJ. It was only missing the seat. I put 700c on it but the OG rigida/Normandy wheels should spin well when I get to them and buy some folding pro-tites.

Commuter mode.

Shakedown cruise.

Not sure I've ever seen that color on a Grand Jubile before. Is that a European market bike? Interesting component also.

Can you measure you Top Tube CTC and the stand over height for me? I have a 23" size and the top tube is 57 CTC which is generally perfect for me I'm just wondering if I could make a 25" into a more appropriate Randonneur.

Collected this 1975 a few weeks ago. Replacement rear wheel, look like it came off a Mirage. Otherwise original. It’s in the queue for 700c’s and a tidy up. If my wife doesn’t enjoy it it’ll be a guest bike.
