LIBERIA Grenoble France

[55ColumbiaBuilt]

"Type Grand Deluxe " on the frame. FINALLY, a bike frame that fits my 6' 3" frame.

Suntour "Cyclone" derailleurs front & rear.
MAFAC callipers brakes

It needs tires and a bath.


Does anyone have an idea as to the year?

Liberia??? That's an odd one, considering the country's current situation, think Haiti.

Those Mafac calipers are great ones though!!!

Yeah...and now I'm torn. From a historical perspective do I clean all the dirt and grime from it and polish the aluminum and otherwise leave it be or, from a personal side, tear it apart and powder coat it a new bright color. It has cool decals with dolphins on it, but it's otherwise pretty bland.

I'm thinking bright red, and staying with the black fork tips and chain stays.
