I guess Anidel is referring to the odd angle of the Paris's gear cable, but maybe he has spotted that the poor little Simplex TdF gear mech is never going to get the chain up onto that huge bottom sprocket.
This Paris is a hopeless mess of badly combined components, and the respray is already showing signs of damage in Anidel's photo.
Harry Rensch was a highly skilled craftsman but , and I daresay you have noticed this, the Galibier design did not catch on. I think its main purpose was to publicise the Paris name, and it was certainly successful in this respect.
