LeJeune - Bicycle - Before 2000

Lejeune – Vintage racing/touring bicycle – France – 1970s/1980s

Vintage French-made bicycle, dating likely from the 1970s/1980s.
A beautiful example in a road/touring configuration, with pearlescent beige paint and the blue decorations typical of the period. The frame retains its LEJEUNE markings and shows a lovely overall patina.
The bike is equipped notably with an era-appropriate mechanical transmission with Huret derailleurs, double chainring, downtube shifters, racing handlebars, rim brakes, metal mudguards and a rear rack.
Overall, the configuration is very coherent for a French bike of this era and makes a good base both for a collection and for regular use.
The bike is ready to ride; tires, cables and housing are new.
