Quoted message said:I know the Jubile gets rave reviews for weight, and appearance wise
it's a thing of beauty. But, how did they shift, front and rear:
Good, great, indifferent ?
By the standards of the day, not badly. By modern standards, the kit
on the average Walgoose does a much better job.
Quoted message said:What about a long cage rear ? Better
than others ? Or way to flimsy ?
Same comments as above.
Quoted message said:The light weight/thin parts seems like it might allow a lot of
flex compared to relatively husky Nuevo Campy or Simplex Super LJ of
the same era and result in sloppy shifting... but maybe it's not an
issue ?
That's just one of many issues.
Two Huret Jubilees have passed through here in the past year; neither
left on a bike, as both were sloppy and flexy. Both were on bikes
that were acquired from thrift stores, one of which was in a lot of
"stuff too awful for us to put in the store". If you can find one
that's in good shape, it might be acceptable as a short-term beater
piece, but any cheap modern unit is likely to be better in my opinion.
