Thanks for all the info!
Agreed on all points, it looks like quality and would be absolutely perfect for a project i'm working on, love the dainty seat stays. Just need to make sure the measurements are small enough! 52/53 cm ctc seattube and toptube are the ideal, as would non-French bb and hs (but that's probably asking for too much!). So yeah please let me know when you get a chance to measure it all up :-)
Thanks!

Its 52cm ctc and 54cm ctt. no news on what the headset or bb sizes are yet - I forgot.
The seat post is 27.2, I know this because I found it and the seat!
Bonus photos, and another bathroom floor.

Lots of france all from france. That '653' is a really nice frame. I left all the paper work back at home regarding the build dimensions and frame materials but it was one of the later reynolds tubings - 1992 ish. I can dig that out when I go back home to france. It came with a Deda quill conversion thing for a modern Deda stem, I can try and check that size and if its 54ctt later this afternoon.
The seat tube size should be 27.2 iirc. 98% sure on that.
If I was selling this frame on ebay which is too much hassle for me here in the uk and I had the paperwork, I'd expect 150 euros plus as this is one of the best steal frames I have put my hands on. I have almost all the classic frames from around the 70's and early 80's but this is a touch lighter, cleaner . Sure its not a classic and its been repainted all be it in paris professionally but as a frame to ride its very good. If it was a little larger I would be riding crits on it this year.
Lastly, yes the headset is really ugly. Anyway, measurements to follow.
