Well, this is where it ended up. I decided not to go the expensive French parts route until I knew if I would like the ride, so I built it with Shimano Altus and SR Apex. It turned out to be a decent-riding bike, albeit a little heavy.

Now, I see Planet Bike has come out with white fenders and for the Komen Foundation (or someone else), they had pink fenders for a brief time I am told, that would have been a sight to see.
I have better photos and though the clarity is not the best here, it largely shows the fenders at their best.

More French bikes with fenders
Here are a couple of 650B French bikes, a 1947 L. Pitard camping bike and a 70-something CNC with VO fenders. Probably many of you have tried the VO fenders - I am quite impressed with them, especially at that price.

Pitard
Wow, that Ebisu is very nice - beautiful frame details and neat components. Great photos too. Beats hanging an old sheet behind the bike!
Here is another photo of the Pitard with the racks and lighting installed. The frame is built with Vitus Extra Leger tubing, which I think would be too flexible for loaded touring, hence the diagonals. I have more photos and info in a Flickr album if anyone is interested. https://www.flickr.com/photos/577760...57662046378021

3speedslow - the Pitard is quite nice to actually see in person, and I like the fact that Duke7777 decided to leave the original finish as it adds that certain patina that helps to truly appreciate the many fine details on the bike. It is great to be able to know someone that enjoys these vintage French bikes - I feel somewhat spoiled whenever I look at what he has! Thanks to members such as him there are obscure and rare marques being put back on the road to be enjoyed again. By the way, your chain ring arrived in Blaine so hopefully I can get down there in the next few days and send yours along. In the meantime here is my very modest contribution to this thread:

Wow,
2 sweet chrome frames to look at. Love them both!
Non-Fixie yours really is worth some nice French parts. Vintageride, hope you got to ride the Garlatti before the nasty weather came in.

Much a lighted ! Something I would never run across around here. If I took that camping, I know looking at it would be my campfire intertainment.
Thanks again, 3 Speed Slow

Thanks! I may still go that route. I must say, however, that the Altus/Tourney stuff, low-rent as it may be, works very well.
EDIT: funny, there's a pic showing in the quote that isn't visible to me in the original post.

Love it! That dirty white tape is the perfect touch. Gives it real street cred.
