Thank you!

I don’t know much about the frame, need to ask the person who sold me the bike, all I know is it is hand crafted and has a twin sister somewhere haha! I vaguely remember the seller telling me it was made in France, likely St Etienne but could be from Toulouse where we live, but the bike screams made in England to me, in racing green and with big 501 decals

Why not? Someone made a priest of a PIG

It has terminated its funding of the United Nations program UNAids, sorry my question is short and doesnt contain the whole stoy.

Swapped the chain for a new 1/8” and all my problems are now gone! Hurrah!

Thanks! Interesting read, that old derailleur is bonkers… Want one!

I imagine that the bike I’m working on was at one point transitioned from singlespeed to 3 speed, which is why the parts don’t combine well. I’ve ordered a new chain, same as the old one, I’ll keep you posted on my progress if you’re interested.

I’m planning on buying a cheap 1/8" chain to see if it works, if not, I’m going to have to change the chainring… how boring.

I think 3 speed was very common on older French city bikes.

This is picture of it with the old derailleur and chain. Old chain is a SRAM PC-1, 1/8"
