Front Derailleur HURET JUBILÉE Randonneuse Singer

A French Shifting Component for a Classic Touring Bike

This listing is for a single used front derailleur: a Huret Jubilé model, specified in its cataloguing as suiting a Singer touring bike. It belongs to the drivetrain family, where precise cage movement and reliable guiding matter most. The part is offered as a second-hand component, so its surfaces will show the honest traces of prior use.

The unit is identified only by its maker’s mark and the Singer touring bicycle association. No extra dimensional or material data is supplied here. Anyone working on a vintage French drivetrain will recognize the Huret name as a central reference in period-correct builds.

What to Verify Before Fitting

Front derailleurs from this era were not universal. A few checks matter before you commit:

• Clamp or braze-on: confirm the frame’s mounting interface on the seat tube.
• Cable pull direction: determine whether your shifter routes the cable from above or below.
• Chainring gap: the cage profile must match the outer ring size you plan to run.

The images are part of the condition record. Look closely at the cage plates and the pivot points. Small cosmetic marks are normal on a piece of this age, but the photographs show the actual state of the part you will receive.

Pairing with a Complete Drivetrain

A front derailleur only works as part of a coordinated set. If you are gathering parts for a full wheel rebuild, you may also be interested in the MAVIC Championnat du Monde 700c tubular rims. For the cockpit end of the same project, a period BELLERI 400 mm racing handlebar can complete the front-end setup.
