My french pal picked this up from a boot sale for 100 euro smackers. It's a cycles AJP sort of low profile with a curved seat tube. There pretty rare, with the ever awesome paint finish by Cavallo.

This is a really nice Henri Depierre available locally for 400. I'm really loving the French 'coque' cut outs on the lugs!

"Used by" whilst racing rather than made/named by Geminiani? I restored a Geminiani a few years ago but it wasn't as classy as this one. Lovely.

Not made by, but indeed used as the brand. As said, it can be yours. I am from The Netherlands.....
