Mystery frame, light, French threaded

[AndyMart]

126 spaced, 26.2 seatpost, French bracket, cinelli fork crown and BB shell. Campag dropouts. Braze on front mech Internal rear brake, Pretty light, in 753 territory I'd say. Any ideas? too small so I'll be selling on. Stamped 355 on bb and fork steerer.

On closer inspection Bb and headset are French threaded.

Rear mech cable stop with the adjuster looks unusual, rings a bell somewhere.

I'm thinking vitus tubing, my initial thought was peugeot. Bduc61 is the man for this one.

you are overestimating my knowledge and my skills

seatstay top looks a bit like this one ( I love fillet brazed stuff :facepalm: )




Its a Daniel Guedon - a nice framemaker from Lyon

but stays end is not similar
these look more like Bernard Carré stuff



If it were Supervitus - seatpost shoul be 26.4 ( with SV971) but I doubtt it as the weight for what seems a 55 should be lower - It could be Columbus SL with that sort of weight ( and seatpost at 26.2 ?)

The rear mech cable stop does not ring a bell too - very seldom seen - Probably best clue for recognition :idea:

So no real certainty I am afraid

Show the front fork ? and the front sticker ?

 

[AndyMart]

Fork has cinelli ssc crown those campag ends aren't familiar they look a little crude/plain. The sticker on the head tube is a strange mix also. Sorry image is reversed seat post is 26.2

I'm going to put this up for sale it's too small for me and I've enough projects on the go, hopefully someone will take it on and get some pleasure from it.
