That's a good one-eye you got there Jim.

Sauvage-Lejeune! I couldn't remember the name but certainly looked at this when I acquired it. I'll have a browse through your links this evening

Great spot Jim, thanks! My mistake, I hadn't looked at these at all.I was looking at early 50's

The box lining is identical!

The third link has one going for 1,000 Euros! uhmmm......should I be updating my ad right now?

Re:

I know nothing about French bikes Sully to be honest. Noooo I've got too many of my own Mainly 30s lightweights. Good luck selling it though.

Great spot Jim, thanks!

Happy to help.

I think your price is realistic. It's worth noting that the example on eBay.fr went unsold at 500, 300 and 200 euros before going unsold at 1000!

Thanks Jim

Always nice to figure out what these frames are.

Yeah, the price seems about right to me.

Whoever did that lining!......perhaps they used a jig but still looks fantastic
