Barry_W Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I got hold of an old Le jeune MTB from about 1993 and converted it to 700/38c with drops and stem shifters. It came out quite nicely I think and rides really well. Here's the before and after.
EvanB Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Love it when someone has the foresight to take an old ugly bike and just make it beautiful again - well done
Patchelicious Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Been looking for a Lejeune just like that to restore into original condition.....
MintSauce Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 What a transformation! Original looks so shite, I would never have considered it myself. End result is really cool!

CAAD4 Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Was the fork already drilled at the top for the brake caliper mounting, or did you drill it?
Barry_W Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 Been looking for a Lejeune just like that to restore into original condition..... Hi Patchelicious, I might still sell it to you if you want to pay the overweight for all the original Hypermarket parts
Barry_W Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 Was the fork already drilled at the top for the brake caliper mounting, or did you drill it?It was drilled both front and back for fenders I think as there is an extra tag on the chainstay bridge for that.
CAAD4 Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Bargain. Quite amazing to see the height difference of the mountings in terms of wheel size
