Similar color and cosmetic condition to yours. 53 cm size. It sat on CL for several months at $375, then $350, then $300, finally sold at $275. That was my recent experience; it would have been worth more in pieces, but unless the frame is bent, I’m not a fan of that process

Thanks for the very recent actual sell experience. Sounds like it's pretty unanimous to replace the derailleurs and sell them separately. Then then I can maybe post the bike for $350, and hope for maybe $300. Hopefully my Palo Alto, South Bay, location will draw the locals, who want that authentic french experience! Thank you!
Question for anyone who knows. Is the rear derailleur a standard bolt? I have some 80's suntours i will probably put on if able. I know the front derailleur may need a shim.
Thanks!
