Howdy folks.

I have what I would guess is a late 60s/early 70s Andre Bertin frameset. It has chromed Nervex Pro lugs and Campy 1010 dropouts. The fork and stays are half chromed as well. To me, it looks older than any of the bikes on the Classic Rendezvous page. I see references to Bertin model names, mostly starting with C but I have no clue what this is. I was all gung ho to build it up as my vintage Frenchy with the parts from a PX-10 (except all alloy Simplex substituted for the Delrin stuff), but it has been sitting a long time now and other projects beckon. I would love to know more about it as I decide what I want to do with it. Thanks!
