I've had this tour de france frameset for over a year and lately been picking up completely rusted out bikes for their sturmey archer hubs and associated parfenalia. Turns out if they look horrible 25$ buys em and I have a friend who wants the frames. Anyway these two things come together nicely. My gitane frameset didn't have a derailleur hanger and it has massive clearance for 650b tires without any modification. So I built an inexpensive set of wheels. Zac19 rims, aw hub out back and shutter precision up front. The aluminum caliper brakes off a completely decimated Schwinn speedster reach the rims and off we go. I have a ways to go but wanted to show someone what my flu racked body was up to. Btw, I know the skewer is in backwards and the basement's a mess.
Gear ratio will probably go up a bit.
