find a nice period-correct (and suitably French) Huret front derailleur to replace the broken one.

There are some things that are much harder to do on a bike without a repair stand, like replacing the derailleur hanger.
It’s hard to tell visually that it’s bent but you could definitely tell when trying to shift.

finally got the alignment and tension right on the new front derailleur for my bike and I'm going to be honest it felt like finally beating Malenia Elden Ring

Before & after derailleur restoration
My bike was not shifting well, and after trying to adjust the limit screws and cable tension, I figured out that the derailleur hanger was bent from this crash (makes sense since the bike landed on the rear derailleur). I just bought a new one. I also had to bleed the disc brakes. Lime owes me.

I even found some old doc online. Thanks to the bike maniacs' forums.

First time setting up a front derailleur and I only lost the chain once before I got it dialled in. I’ll call that a win.

[Appel à la commu'] Je me fais expulser très prochainement de mon rangement vélo. Si quelqu'un a une solution à moindre coût dans le secteur Jules Joffrin à Paris 18e, je suis tout. Cœur sur vous avec un dérailleur. 🐴 🚲
