Hello, this was a bike that was outed on Ebay a few months ago, we ended up getting it and still haven't taken the modern (off-topic) pedals off it yet. here- http://www.bikeville.com/redfrenchbike.html

It is a beautiful dark maroonish red with box lining. It is missing the headbadge, has a "shadow" of where on was. it does have the model- Type Dauphine. I know the headlugs and seat cluster have to indicate some Marque. Vitus tubing. The seatstay cluster is filed real thin around the top, where the post is installed, like the late 1970s Bruce Gordon does we have here.

any help would be greatly appreciated so I can look for a headbadge.
thanks
