What an awesome paintjob! And I got a thing for split seattubes, veery nice :) Is it a mecacycle, gillen, caceg or sth else?
Sig_Arlecchino-
This one is a Paris-Tours, like CACEG out of Montreuil, whilst Gillen was just across the border in Vincennes (and almost certainly built by one or both of the former -if they were actually ever different and not just a change of name, location and ownership).

Been almost 11 months since picking this up and today felt like a good enough time to start building it up. Still not 100% decided on how, but I stood it on some place-holder wheels that I thought looked good and thats' for the time being encouraged me to think about a silver groupset, in this case DA-7700.
