I like those slightly upturned bars. Know what they are?

They look like SR Sakae. Can just make out randonneur and champion on the bars.

Flexible bottom bracket comes as standard on the Galibier . Best ridden on flattish roads inspite of the model name . When Paris / Rensch cycles had a team they raced on this model afaik .

Nope ,it is far to big for me . It belonged to a fellow cyclist I knew well and had a great repect for . I restored it in his memory .
I changed some of the components on it , as the ones fitted had been well used . It also had a powder coat .
The cassette is not what he would have used . It would of had a lot smaller ratio
