I have my late grandfathers Le Jeune. I had it cleaned and the chain was replaced, but everything else is in original working condition. The glue-on tires are also original, but I have not inflated them. Also, the included bike pump has not be tested. The stickers are a bit worn. The paint color is red with hand painted bands of Blue, White and Red. I would love to share photos if at all possible. I don't want to be flagged for any rule breaking or whatnot so just let me know how else I can help. This should be fun... Here are some facts:

Mafac "racing" breaking system - aluminium
Stronglight pedals and gears - aluminium
Simplex gear shifter - mixed materials
Super Champ rims - aluminium
Wolber 333 tires - glued
Sportex seat - plastic
SKS tire pump - plastic
Weight: 21 lbs / 336 oz
Color: Red w/ hand painted colors of the French flag
Olympic medal stickers
"Construit Ave" sticker - appears to display the number 531
"Jerry's Schwinn Bicycle Shop" sticker - Tom's River, NJ (201) 244-4346
