Some progress, I'm at 55 miles for the Mondia all has been going well. The only quirk, I thought no the cable has slipped some at the rear derailleur.
No more progress with the Gitane, however I did source a front derailleur. So I will now sing the the song, "May your Simplex be unbroken" a 1971. Ah shoot, no picture, I thought 💭 took a picture of the ghost derailleur. It was all white with oxidation.
I've got the Paramount assembled, it's not ready yet. I'm still working out the drivetrain-chain-triple-derailleur combo. The 14-32 and 28-44-52 is not playing friendly.
Lastly I found a Bottecchia Professional (perhaps) with some not anodized Campy calipers with a drop hanger bolt. I don't think I'll have time for it in the Clunker Classic but if the schedule opens up.
