Classtime 

I grabbed this 74 Grand Jubile before the sh€£ hit the fan. I broke it down, put the parts in a box, then rubbed and polished and waxed the frame. The project was suspended while I mulled over the wheel set/brakes/tire potions. Each option required a few dollars. Original 27 inch Weinmann-Normandy wheelset might need the galvanized spokes on the one wheel replaced plus maybe some nipples plus rim tape and tires. If I used a pair of bikeless 700c wheels, I would need to get a longer than original Weinmann 610 brake for the rear, but I had on hand good wheels, tape and tires. This last week, my bike money was reduced to zero and the project was suspended indefinitely. And then...mechanicmatt propsed this challenge.
