I always fall for the old French bikes. Don't do it. Though sweet riding, they are high maintenance. Nothing is standard, not the parts, the direction you turn things to unscrew them, or the tools you need. You will spend far too many hours online researching arcane things like crankarm puller thread sizes. Plus the components, if original, may disintegrate when you touch them.

I also think it's over priced.

If the damn thing was 62 cm I'd probably buy it.
