I could cut off the derailleur hanger, discard the derailleurs and shifters, and make it into a hipster fixie with "Keep Portland Weird" stickers.

Or, alternatively, I could make it my winter project. Detail clean the frame, touch up the paint scrape, polish the chrome socks. Overhaul all the bearings. True the wheels, polish the rims and hubs. New tubulars, cables, housing, pads. Replace all the old steel clamp hardware. Clean and polish the aluminum components. Restore the Delrin stuff with Mothers Black. Wrap cotton tape in a tricolor pattern, it being a French bike and all.

And then either ride it on sunny days or, if it is too small - can't tell yet - reluctantly sell it.

Guessing I'll plump for #2. I hope it fits, haven't actually thrown a leg over it. Tires don't hold air.
