It's a very elegant frame this one..and must be from the higher echelons of that manufacturer's range. It seems that the builder, probably Carre...but maybe just a little after he stopped building..was free to choose the components. The drop-outs are Italian and were made by Technociclo- Sestese, a company based in the NE corner of the Milan industrial area - Sestese being the name of the suburb. The company made a very large range of parts, including long and short point lugs..some resembling Prugnat's range, bracket shells, brake bridges, but no fork crowns. They were probably the largest of the Italian frame-parts suppliers, although the extent of ranges such as the rear brake and chainstay bridges never matched those of Silva...although it is doubtful if Silva actually made their own parts. Sadly like so many other companies Technociclo closed some years ago, probably in the early to mid-90s, a victim of competition from Taiwan, Long Shen and the others..and from the gradual swop over to carbon and aluminium.
Although the fork crown is clearly Bocama, it is impossible to say with any certainty whether the lugs are Technociclo or Prugnat..the French company based at Moret-sur-Loing,only about 50kms from Lejeune' s factory in the SE corner of the Paris conurbation.
SABA, the London-based import company owned by Italo Beriglioni - I hope I spelled that correctly - did in fact distribute the whole Technociclo range. Norman Evans was a store manager at SABA, who decided to continue distributing the same range of goods when he lost his job when SABA went into liquidation sometime in the early 80s..and so CEEWAY came onto the scene.
