James: The problem is that until this latest message, you simply did not have enough to go on to make a positive ID. You still don't have much! The French threading and "Alpine" decal are confusing clues as the only Alpine bike that I have heard about were the Georgetown Cycle "house brand" bikes from the 1970s ... But they were usually British or USA made and likely would not have had French (metric) threading. Of course the "Alpine" designation could be a model within some other makes line, so it is still wild guesswork trying to identify that bike. Sorry, you may have a forever-mystery bike!
