Mafac Racers were OEM equipment on French bikes for years. If your area had 
a concentration of French bikes during the early 70s bike boom, there will 
be discarded Mafacs in every shop's junkpile, every bike kitchen, every 
scrapyard.

Midrange Racers are the most common Mafacs, by far. You might just barely 
be able to do a 700c>650b conversion with Racers, but a 27" conversion will 
require longer brakes.
