I present to you the latest addition to the family: A Helyett "Gitane" World Champion 1975 (i think)
Size: 60 cm
Brakes MAFAC Competition (early version)
Huret derailleurs (genuine?)
Hubs and mavic Spidel (not genuine)
3t stem (not genuine)
pedals Maillard CXC and crank Stronglight (not genuine)
Pro handlebar Philippe (not genuine and very damaged)

This bike will be my randonneur for Sundays. I'll put on it MAFAC COMPETITION GOLD brakes and derailleurs SIMPLEX GOLD too, a Brooks Pro and hubs Campa Record in a first time (then Maxi-car hubs). The stem and handlebar will be a Belri produce . I must found a decaleur for my handlebar bag Lafuma

(one more time, sorry for my english) Confused

Nice bike... Cool

This is probably a 1974-75 Gitane Champion Du Monde with Helyett decals.

Don't under estimate the Huret Challenger derailleurs. The rear derailleur can be adjusted for a 24 or 28T freewheel.



I have bikes with both Simplex SLJ and Huret Challenger/Success derailleurs. The Huret derailleurs are hard to beat.


BTW, the 3TTT bars and stem are FAR better quality than the Beleri bars and stem
