Yes, a René André 700c randonneuse. Seller in Paris wants around €1100 for it, which is big money for me, but it is lovely. I thought the price would be ok, since no components are needed, but I see it would involve added costs.
I'm in Germany, so my question was initially just about seeking advice. My first language is English, so I end up on English forums. Sorry - now I wish you were around the corner!
Anyway, it seems the job wouldn't be unrealistic, which is good to know.
Thank you!

Vahrona might be a bit cheaper?
Is it something special? Don't see many 3 speed changers on the seat stay
