Help! Does anybody on the list know about Oscar Egg's bicycles? I have just acquired a frame and forks with Osgear drop outs. I know that it is an Oscar Egg as the company thoughtfully stamped the name on the fork crown. Frame number is 10235. In view of the drop outs, I assume that it is just pre-WW2 or just post-WW2.. It has a braze-on to accept the Osgear fork and I have an Osgear to go with it. Bottom bracket threads are Imperial rather than French. All I have found out so far is that the shop was in the Avenue de la Grande Armee in Paris and it was still going in the sixties. Any help would be gratefully received.

The drop puts were presumably just know as Oscar Egg drop outs.
