[RBW] WTB/WTT – Huret Jubilee Long Cage Rear Derailleur

2023-02-10 Thread Luke Hendrickson
Hey all! I fly out to visit my folks a bunch and want to build up a bike to either fly *with* or stash there. Instead of starting with a frameset and building around that, I’d like to build it around a Huret Jubilee! Please pm me if you have one and wish to part with it/happen to be looking

I’ve been lucky enough to have ridden all of them, but only own Homer and Platy.  I sold my Appaloosa two years ago to buy the Platy.   My test ride on an Atlantis was what sold me on Rivendell.   Leah, BBDD, has a Platy and Clem L.   Clem L rode nicely. Platy is sportier.  I know the wheelbases

I recall the Clem-L after the 2019 update as having the same ETT as the Susie in a 59cm, and that was 68.5cm. The 64cm was 70cm. This confirms what I had written down. https://bikeinsights.com/bikes/5ad94f910b7e170014f9dc21-rivendell-bicycle-works-clem-smith-jr?version=2019-november-update=l
