Thanks to @craciunptr i'am about to build that beautiful genius frame with some odd marks looking from beneath the paint. Look and campagnolo faded logo and almost zero info about company/builder makes me think that maybe it's made for some french cycling company by other builder? I had once sancinetto frame with cutouts in head lugs like that, i've seen also few frames from sancinetto with seat stays lika that. Anyone with some knowledge on that?

You've pretty much answered your own question. Ouest Cycles was a bike shop (that closed down years ago), they obviously had Sancineto to build their own-brand frames for them.
Lovely piece BTW.

Thanks! I waited about a year to finally convince a guy to let it go. It’s quick and light. Paired it with ambrosio excellence wheels

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
