My dad offered his old Jupiter Touring for a parts donor, but there's hardly anything I'd want to "borrow" from this bike. Huret Allvit gears with one piece cranks. Almost the same colour as the Mercier, though!

I suppose the driveside "mixte stay" is purposefully bent this way to make space for the chain to pass. Could the threaded holes be for attaching a pannier rack?

Not super stoked about the stamped lugs and spot welding. I'm thinking of trying to find a bottle of matching automotive touch up paint, shouldn't be that hard of a color to match

Stronglight BB spindle, M8? 118? 148? I can't decide how it reads. 115 mm long.

Somebody has used lots of force trying to pry the seatpost clamp open :/ I'm not sure if I should try to tidy this up with a file and some touch up paint, given that I find the right hue

Upper headset cup is has taken a hit at some point, maybe recently during transport, maybe earlier. Should I try to find a replacement and swap, or try to froce it back in shape?

Maybe with a piece of threaded rod, some nuts and washers... I have no experience with this. I would have standard sized threaded headset cups, which, according to Sheldon Brown, might fit in the head tube, but this would cause problems with the French sized fork and threads.

The new one is a little longer than the old one but has same bearing race distance. The length wouldn't be a problem the chairing would have sat very close to the chainstay with the old spindle.

Replaced upper headset cup which was pitted using the DIY method. I found it to be standard-sized and my dad's friend who wrenches a lot happened to have a spare one. Now working on replacing the fork crown race which was pitted too...

A front rack that needs some rust removal and shining. This is a whole lot bulkier and heavier than the ones the French usually fitted their randonneurs with, so I'm not sure if it'll stay

BLB Pista Vera crankset and a thin 70's aluminum chainguard. Plenty of Finnish bikes of the era had similar, so I'm not sure of the make. Most likely from a "Nopsa". I plan on polishing this if the material thickness allows :D
