Hello, I have recently picked up this road bike. I rather briskly turned it into a single speed, just to get it on the road (no other transportation other than buses....) and found that I have no idea where this bike came from. I think I am the 3rd or 4th owner, frame is steel, the drop outs are too used to be able to easily read the cast name, though there are some discernible letters on them. The letters painted below the clear coat before someone scratched them off, I believe, spell out Runseaux, with a rainbow sticker just under the seat stays on the seat tube that says special competition. The components range from Shimano 600 friction shifters and crankset to Dura ace brakes and Campagnolo rear mech and break leavers and Sachs hubs on Mavic rims. I did pick this up out side of Paris, but I can not find any info on the Runseaux, and the identification marks on the BB are of no real help. They read as: 58095 4 and then strewn about at random angles are these numbers: 367 2 and then below that 3 5

If anyone has any idea, that would be awesome (I think the drop outs say Super Vitus, or Soper Vitus)
