Oh yes. Even though there was never a formal agreement AFIK, they were available from several large and small manufacturers well into the seventies.

I am returning to this discussion about the type of federal bicycle that the FFCT (Fédération Française de Cyclotourisme) initially defined in 1946 and which was revised in 1978.

A belated reply to this message to point out an error in the name of the manufacturer of this randonneuse: it is Geo Ferrand, a little-known builder who worked mainly for cycle tourists and had his workshop near Mâcon.
