Andy, check your seatpost for proper diameter. It looks like an American made Weyless and I'm not sure that they made a French diameter seat post.
I just scored another Grand Record, a '75 black w/red panels. That makes 4 in the collection now, in addition to 2 Le Champions, all from '72 to '75. And a '75 Grand Jubile mixte. And a '75 GJ frame. I'm sick.
