Manufrance was a giant French distributor and manufacturer based in Saint Etienne. They sold guns, fishing gear, bikes, cameras, sewing machines.....
Some of their bike bags are very nice as are a few components I've seen. I'm not sure that this bike is top-of-the-line. But it is very cool and well worth restoring IMO. At least some of the bikes were made by Hirondelle!

I give. What is a ManuFrance? This example is lugless. The seat looks prehistoric. :-) Is this thing ancient or a junker? 130066378184
