LeJeune - Bicycle - Before 2000

Lejeune – Road / vintage touring bicycle – France – 1970s/1980s

Vintage bicycle manufactured in France, dating probably from the 1970s/1980s.
A beautiful specimen in a road/touring setup, with pearly beige paint and blue decorations typical of the period. The frame retains its LEJEUNE markings and shows a nice overall patina.
The bike is equipped notably with period mechanical transmission with Huret derailers, double chainring, downtube shifters, road handlebars, rim brakes, metal mudguards, and rear rack.
The overall configuration is very coherent for a French bicycle of this era and makes a good base both for a collection and for regular use.
The bike is ready to ride, with new tires, cables and housings.
